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
