That's an interesting pattern; cachefiles_obj_ref_trace's first
enumeration's value is set to the final enumeration's value in
fscache_obj_ref_trace.  This fix is ok to me; though I would ask the
maintainer consider just merging the enums into one (unless there are
more than one other enums doing the same pattern (which doesn't seem
to be the case)).  Thanks for the patch.
