VMware Player -- fix for kernel 3.4

Another kernel version, another VMware compilation issue. :roll:
As told
here
, the fix is easy.
With /usr/lib/vmware/module/source/vmblock.tar extracted, open the file /usr/lib/vmware/module/source/vmblock-only/linux/filesystem.c for editing. Go to line 528, and change d_alloc_root(rootInode) to read d_make_root(rootInode).
That's it -- re-tar vmblock and the module will build correctly on towo's new kernel.
