Error compiling NTFS support in 2.4.9

Error compiling NTFS support in 2.4.9

[Meinhard E. Mayer]

It seemds that the function  unistr.c has been broken since kernel
2.4.8. 
I could not find Anton Altamarkov's e-mail address so I am sending
this to the general address.  In 2.4.8 things compiled fine.

Hi Meinhard,

> It seems that unistr.c ... broken since kernel 2.4.8.

Add the following to unistr.c

  #include <linux/kernel.h>

> I could not find Anton Altamarkov's e-mail address ...
