binutils bug workaround

[Vivien Chappelier <vivien.chappelier@enst-bretagne.fr>]

Hi,

        There is a binutils bug (as) which produces bad addresses when
getting the address of a struct member for initializing the same struct,
and when there is data or static functions declared before:
int test = 0xdeadbeef;

struct {
        int dummy;
        void *ptr;
} bug =
{
  ptr:  &bug.ptr
};

will produce bad value for bug.ptr.

        This patch move the declaration of kswapd_wait as a workaround to
this compiler bug. This probably affects all mips64 kernels.
