NFSD module bug on ppc patch

Hi

this is a simple patch to a long standing bug : the kernel NFSD
server is unable to load when compiled as a module and fails with the
error :

nfssvc: Function not implemented

This bug is not present on the i386 side.

I have tracked the problem in arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S : there was a
conditional compilation that disables the nfsservctl call in case the
CONFIG_NFSD is not enabled. In the case of a module, it is disabled
(and CONFIG_NFSD_MODULE is enabled). But there is no need for such a
conditional compilation because the sys_nfsservctl is always defined
in all the cases (no NFSD, NFSD in kernel and NFSD as a module).

So the fix is very simple (this is a patch to the current
ppc.samba.org::linux-pmac-stable 2.2.17 kernel, but a similar patch
is necessary for the 2.2.18-benh kernel and 2.4.0-test8 devel kernel).

Paulus, let me know if you forward this fix to alan cox or if I
should to it myself.

Regards,
