[PATCH] Re-xmit: clean up overzealous deprecated warning

[PATCH] Re-xmit: clean up overzealous deprecated warning

[Rusty Russell]

Linus, please apply.

Name: Fix overzealous check_region deprecation
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Trivial

D: 1) We export __check_region, so making it __deprecated gives a spurious
D:    warning in kernel/ksyms.c.
D: 2) Other warnings refer to __check_region rather than check_region,
D:    which has confused some people.
D:
D: Make check_region an inline, not a macro, and deprecate *that*.
