- sysctl-remove-the-proc_dir_entry-member-for-the-sysctl-tables.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     sysctl: remove the proc_dir_entry member for the sysctl tables
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     sysctl-remove-the-proc_dir_entry-member-for-the-sysctl-tables.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: sysctl: remove the proc_dir_entry member for the sysctl tables
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

It isn't needed anymore, all of the users are gone, and all of the ctl_table
initializers have been converted to use explicit names of the fields they are
initializing.
