Won't compile anyway if you have any of the following filesystems.

mullet:/usr/tmp/linux-2.1.44/fs$ grep -l s_mounted */*
affs/inode.c
fat/inode.c
hpfs/hpfs_fs.c
isofs/inode.c
minix/inode.c
ncpfs/inode.c
nfsd/export.c
nfsd/vfs.c
romfs/inode.c
smbfs/inode.c
sysv/inode.c
ufs/ufs_super.c
umsdos/dir.c
umsdos/inode.c
umsdos/rdir.c

Looks easy enough to fix, but I won't provide a patch here. I'd only
be modifying these files similarly to others that have been patched,
without fully understanding the code. ("Since when has that been a
requirement before posting half-baked patches?", I hear you ask. :-) )
