- document-spin_lock_unlocked-rw_lock_unlocked-deprecation.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Document SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED/RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED deprecation
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     document-spin_lock_unlocked-rw_lock_unlocked-deprecation.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Document SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED/RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED deprecation
From: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>

Apparently it's not cool anymore to use SPIN/RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED.  There's
some mention of this in Documentation/spinlocks.txt, but that only talks
about dynamic initialisation.

A comment in the code mentioning the preferred usage would be good IMHO.
