From: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net>

This patch adds a new __kfifo_int_must_check_helper() helper function,
which is needed for kfifo_alloc() to return the right signed integer
value.

The origin __kfifo_must_check_helper() helper was renamed into
__kfifo_uint_must_check_helper() to show the sign which is expected and
returned.

We're probably just days away from 2.6.36.  I went with the
safe-and-stupid fix.  I'll queue this patch for 2.6.37-rc1.
