It should be implemented in C too.  This is the case for almost all
"functions" which are implemented as macros and it's rather a mystery
why we keep on typing #define!

It is not only for cleanliness and for typechecking, but also because
constructs such as

	{
		struct address_space *foo = ...;
		if (cleancache_fs_enabled_mapping(foo))
			...;
	}

will generate an unused-var warning against `foo' if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE=n. 
Implementing the function in C fixes that.  With current gcc, anyway.
