The new gasket staging driver ran into a randconfig build failure when
CONFIG_EVENTFD is disabled:

  In file included from drivers/staging/gasket/gasket_interrupt.h:11,
                   from drivers/staging/gasket/gasket_interrupt.c:4:
  include/linux/eventfd.h: In function 'eventfd_ctx_fdget':
  include/linux/eventfd.h:51:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'ERR_PTR' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

I can't see anything wrong with including eventfd.h before err.h, so the
easiest fix is to make it possible to do this by including the file
where it is needed.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
