Obviously, adding a proper header file makes it compile.

A proper "#include" line, that is.

Created attachment 232115 [details, diff]
fbcondecor-0.9.6 for linux 2.6.34

In fact, the missing include is "linux/slab.h" in cfbcondecor.c. I have attached a new version of the fbcondecor-0.9.6 patch that includes the fix. This patch is rebased against vanilla 2.6.34.
