Sorry, forgot to amend the include in the commit. Regarding export of
security_inode_need_killpriv() - right, I had security XFS compiled in so I
didn't notice. Before I go and fix this up in the obvious way, does anyone
have better idea how to fix this than to second guess what
file_remove_suid() does? Maybe a VFS helper like file_needs_remove_suid()
will be cleaner than what I did?
