commit e57f93cc53b7 (powerpc: get rid of nlink_t uses, switch to
explicitly-sized type) changed the size of st_nlink on ppc64 from
a long to a short, resulting in boot failures.

Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <redacted>

Would this affect my (early user mode) boot problems reported
yesterday;

/init: 71: mknod: Permission denied
/init: 88: mknod: Permission denied
/init: 88: mknod: Permission denied

Very similar to the errors I was seeing so I think the patch will fix
it.

Great.  One less thing to bisect tomorrow :-)
