The patch titled

     futex-avoid-kernel-taint-caused-by-get_robust_list.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

From: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
Subject: futex: avoid kernel taint caused by get_robust_list

Commit ec0c4274e33c0373e4 ("futex: Mark get_robust_list as deprecated")
added these two WARN_ONCE calls.

However, WARN_ONCE taints the kernel, and we shouldn't be allowing any
user who wanders by to do this.  For example, the system fuzzer "trinity"
uses the tainted state as a metric for when to stop, assuming that it has
caused significant wreckage (and indeed that tool is what actually led me
to this change).

The ability to deprecate this code has been called into question[1], but
if that remains to be finalized, then making this change in the interim
seems to make sense.
