The declaration of `__warn()` has `struct pt_regs *regs` as one of its
parameters.  This can result in compiler warnings if `struct regs` is
not already declared.  Add an empty declaration of `struct pt_regs` to
avoid the warnings.


Not sure if this has been pulled already or not, but I have a small nit.

It's already in linux-next master.

Probably be better to move pt_regs above the comment. For one, it is
used before warn_args in the function below. Two, it's not defined
internally by panic.c like warn_args is.

Alternatively, the comment could be placed on the same line as `struct warn_args;`. I don't think it's a big enough of a deal to patch it for the sake of it, tbh.

 void __warn(const char *file, int line, void *caller, unsigned taint,
 	    struct pt_regs *regs, struct warn_args *args);
