I did not hit this in the mainline linux but in the windriver linux
(2.6.34). some guys (from WR) have included the <linux/kmemtrace.h> in
lib/kernel_lock.c and have introduced the building failure under some
configurations(seems when disabling the LTTng and another config, sorry,
I forget the exact name).

I have tried to find out who have used the undeclared ENOSYS and at last
got include/linux/tracepoint.h and after checking the linux-next tree
and found it also need to declare ENOSYS, then I send this patch for I'm
worrying about somebody else may also include tracepoint.h but without
errno.h ;)

Perhaps we'd better push it into 2.6.35 as you explained: "maybe there's
a configuration already in 35 that we don't know about that this bug can
break. "
