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

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

mm/page-writeback.c: In function 'account_page_cleared':
mm/page-writeback.c:2122:23: error: 'struct address_space' has no member named 'backing_dev_info'
dec_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info,
^

Caused by commit d475bc581640 ("page_writeback: cleanup mess around
cancel_dirty_page()") (hmm, that commit has no Signed-off-by from
Andrew?) interacting with commit b83ae6d42143 ("fs: remove
mapping->backing_dev_info") from the block tree.

I have applied the following fix patch:
