A similar fix to netfilter from Eric Dumazet inspired me to
look around a bit by using some grep/sed stuff as looking for
this kind of bugs seemed easy to automate. This is one of them
I found where it looks like this semicolon is not valid.

Interestingly the test has `unlikely'. So the bug showed up in the `likely'
case...

Er yeah that's bad. On kernels with MM_SLICES set we never prefault
anything .. oops ..
And testing confirms that's what's happening, with the semicolon gone we
do prefault somethings.
Thanks to the frickin compiler for warning us, not.
This should probably go to stable for 22 IMHO.
Nice catch Ilpo, perhaps someone should hack sparse to check for that
sort of thing.
cheers

Your GCC is too old :-)

Oh good, so in 2011 we'll start getting a warning, sweet.
