[PATCH] 2.4.15-pre3 non-modular compile breakage

It seems that Al Viro's patch to support large /proc/mounts, etc., has a
small mistake that broke (at least some) compiles where CONFIG_MODULES is
not defined... (That's the bug I reported to the list earlier tonight
FWIW.)

Here's a tested (on two systems, one with modules and one without) patch
against 2.4.15-pre3. The patch also seems to apply to 2.4.13-ac8, although
I have not tested it with that kernel version.
