- clocksource-remove-the-update-callback.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     clocksource: Remove the update callback
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     clocksource-remove-the-update-callback.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: clocksource: Remove the update callback
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The clocksource code allows direct updates of the rating of a given
clocksource now.  Change TSC unstable tracking to use this interface and
remove the update callback.
