2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
 [stable] [PATCH 2.6.32/stable] CIFS: Fix compile error with __init in cifs_init_dns_resolver() definition

From: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org>

An allmodconfig compile on ppc64 with 2.6.32.17 currently gives this error

fs/cifs/dns_resolve.h:27: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'cifs_init_dns_resolver'

This adds the correct header file to fix this.

[...]

Why <linux/module.h> and not <linux/init.h>?

Ben.

Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.

Heh, it works :)

Michael?

It's what David Howells wanted.....

That's not really a good idea as the assembler may choose different pieces of
assembly to do variable references and jumps, depending on the section
information.

A better fix is to add:

	#include <linux/module.h>

to the header file.
