** Description changed:

+ [Impact] 
+ The open-vm-dkms package fails to build from source.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Since this is a FTBFS, a successful build is enough to verify this.
+ 
+ [Fix]
+ Applying the same fix as in 946e51f2bf37, i.e., replacing the usage of d_alias member by d_u.d_alias.
+ 
  After upstream commit 946e51f2bf37 ("move d_rcu from overlapping d_child
  to overlapping d_alias") came in with a 3.2 stable update, this package
  fails to build from source.  This is because the 'd_alias' member of
  struct dentry has been moved into the 'd_u' union.
