The patch titled
     Subject: Revert "mm/shmem: fix shmem_swapin() race with swapoff"
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     revert-mm-shmem-fix-shmem_swapin-race-with-swapoff.patch

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

Subject: Revert "mm/shmem: fix shmem_swapin() race with swapoff"

Due to the change about how block layer detects congestion the
justification of commit 8fd2e0b505d1 ("mm: swap: check if swap backing device
is congested or not") doesn't stand anymore, so the commit could be just
reverted in order to solve the race reported by commit 2efa33fc7f6e ("mm/shmem:
fix shmem_swapin() race with swapoff"), so the fix commit could be just
reverted as well.

And that fix is also kind of buggy as discussed by [1] and [2].
