Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm tree

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) failed like this:

fs/ext4/mballoc.c: In function 'ext4_mb_check_group_pa':
/home/sfr/next/next/fs/ext4/mballoc.c:3335:17: error: implicit declaration of function 'abs64' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  cur_distance = abs64(goal_block - cpa->pa_pstart);
                 ^

Caused by patch

  "Remove abs64()"

interacting with commit

  1a70ea8d47aa ("ext4: fix abs() usage in ext4_mb_check_group_pa")

from the ext4 tree.

I just reverted the ext4 tree commit as it is no longer needed:
