[merged mm-stable] kasan-move-boot-parameters-section-in-documentation.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: kasan: move boot parameters section in documentation
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kasan-move-boot-parameters-section-in-documentation.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch\nof git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>
Subject: kasan: move boot parameters section in documentation

Move the "Boot parameters" section in KASAN documentation next to the
section that describes KASAN build options.
