[merged] userfaultfd-call-userfaultfd_unmap_prep-only-if-__split_vma-succeeds.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: userfaultfd: call userfaultfd_unmap_prep only if __split_vma succeeds
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     userfaultfd-call-userfaultfd_unmap_prep-only-if-__split_vma-succeeds.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>
Subject: userfaultfd: call userfaultfd_unmap_prep only if __split_vma succeeds

A __split_vma is not a worthy event to report, and it's definitely not a
unmap so it would be incorrect to report unmap for the whole region to the
userfaultfd manager if a __split_vma fails.

So only call userfaultfd_unmap_prep after the __vma_splitting is over and
do_munmap cannot fail anymore.

Also add unlikely because it's better to optimize for the vast majority of
apps that aren't using userfaultfd in a non cooperative way.  Ideally we
should also find a way to eliminate the branch entirely if
CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=n, but it would complicate things so stick to unlikely
for now.
