[PATCH] [PATCH] VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS: Move to <linux/sysfs.h> where it belongs

["George Spelvin" <linux@horizon.com>]

> How about we move it into sysfs.h?

Something like this, you mean?

The <linux/types.h> in moduleparam.h is needed for one function
prototype that passes s16 parameters.  My first reaction is
to wonder if that can be gotten rid of, too.

-----
It's the only user of <linux/bug.h> in kernel.h, so that reduces
the compile-time cost of #include <linux/kernel.h>

One necessary consequent change in <linux/moduleparam.h>.
