Good catch.  So generally such patches should be rejected if we conform 
to the rigid kernel source patching policy.  For something like this one
can either:

1. NACK my patch and I re-work it.
2. Or you just remove the trailing white space on my patch and re-apply it
3. Or just apply it and I will someday go through all the source and 
find stupid trailing white spaces and fix them all up in one go.
