Egads, man...

a) ERROR (in ALL CAPS, no less) according to whom? Sure, it's nicer to
add those spaces, but do you really think that it deserves a separate
patch, especially with such a commit message?

b) AFAICS, you've posted at least 4 such one-liners to kernel/acct.c, with
commit messages that sound like "Because The Most Holy sendpatch.pl (All Praise
sendpatch.pl) Says So". There might be some reason to split the
asm/uaccess.h -> linux/uaccess.h replacement into a separate commit, but
the rest of that? Come on...

Trivial whitespace, etc. changes like that should be clearly marked as such
and not split beyond reasonable...
