The patch titled
     Subject: llist: llist_add() can use llist_add_batch()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     llist-llist_add-can-use-llist_add_batch.patch

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

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
Subject: llist: llist_add() can use llist_add_batch()

llist_add(new, head) can simply use llist_add_batch(new, new, head),
no need to duplicate the code.

This obviously uninlines llist_add() and to me this is a win. But we
can make llist_add_batch() inline if this is desirable, in this case
gcc can notice that new_first == new_last if the caller is llist_add().
