[PATCH] [TRIVIAL] namespace.c - compiler warning

[kuebelr]

init_rootfs() (from ramfs) doesn't appear in any header file.  I didn't
see any that looked like a good home, so lets put a prototype at the top
of fs/namespace.c.  This only use of this function is in namespace.c.

Patch is agains 2.4.19-pre10.

Rob.

Please simply backport the declaration from 2.5: it gets the function
type correct.

Thanks,
Rusty.

So that becomes:
