Re: [git patches] two warning fixes

So let's make a new rule:

We absolutely NEVER add things like "must_check" unless not checking causes a real and obvious SECURITY ISSUE.

And we absolutely *never* add crap like "deprecated", where the only point of the warning is to effectively hide *real* problems.

So realistically, the only thing that needs must_check is pretty much things like "get_user()" and quite frankly, I'm not sure even about that one.

Ok?

Sounds great to me... My overall goal is killing useless warnings that continually obscure real ones.
