[PATCH 1/1] Input: sysrq -- ensure sysrq_enabled and __sysrq_enabled are consistent

From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com>
Date: 2011-01-24 14:06:20
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: proc sysctl, the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Kees Cook, Joel Granados, Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

Currently sysrq_enabled and __sysrq_enabled are initialised separatly
and inconsitantly, leading to sysrq being actually enabled by reported
as not enabled in sysfs.  The first change to the sysfs configurable
synchronises these two:

    static int __read_mostly sysrq_enabled = 1;
    static int __sysrq_enabled;

Add a common define to carry the default for these preventing them becoming
out of sync again.  Default this to 1 to mirror previous behaviour.
