Hmm, there's now a patch in linux-next ("static keys: Introduce 'struct
static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()")
via the -tip tree which would cause this not to build anymore since
struct jump_label_key was renamed to struct static_key.

I'm not sure how this could be handled to keep this compiling both in
the arm tree separately and in linux-next.  I guess the easiest is to
delay this until the next cycle, since it's not applied yet.
