So, the patch below is a slight variation on the original patch.
I'm still slightly concerned about portability, but given that it
has been at least a decade since I last used a (pre-ANSI) compiler
which had a problem with this ...

[I have several versions of the C standard that I can use to check
up on the legalise, but I'm not sure I can be bothered! ;-) ]

Subject: [PATCH] alloc.c: make alloc_raw_commit_node() a static function

In order to encapsulate the setting of the unique commit index, commit
969eba63 ("commit: push commit_index update into alloc_commit_node",
10-06-2014) introduced a (logically private) intermediary allocator
function. However, this function (alloc_raw_commit_node()) was declared
as a public function, which undermines its entire purpose.

Add a scope parameter to the DEFINE_ALLOCATOR macro to allow the
raw commit allocator definition to include the 'static' qualifier.

Noticed by sparse ("symbol 'alloc_raw_commit_node' was not declared.
Should it be static?").
