Replace the use of nested functions where a normal function will suffice.
Nested functions are not liked by upstream kernel developers in general. Their
use breaks the use of clang as a compiler, and doesn't make the code any
better.
This code now works for both gcc and clang.
The LLVMLinux project aims to fully build the Linux kernel using both gcc and
clang (the C front end for the LLVM compiler infrastructure project).

I have to say I do like small helper funcs as nested functions, as they
are restricted inside the parent function's scope. But, of course,
nested funcs have their issues.
So looks fine to me, queuing for 3.18.
