[FS] Why doesn't this patch work?

[Simon Kirby]

I'm attempting to write this little dinky patch to see who calls fsync()
or fdatasync(), but it's spitting out compiler warnings.  I can't figure
out why, though.  What did I do wrong?

buffer.c: In function `report_culprit':
buffer.c:409: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
buffer.c:410: warning: passing arg 2 of `d_path' from incompatible pointer type
buffer.c:420: warning: passing arg 1 of `mntput' from incompatible pointer type
