[merged] mempolicy-kill-do_set_mempolicy-down_writemm-mmap_sem.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mempolicy: kill do_set_mempolicy()->down_write(&mm->mmap_sem)
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mempolicy-kill-do_set_mempolicy-down_writemm-mmap_sem.patch

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

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
Subject: mempolicy: kill do_set_mempolicy()->down_write(&mm->mmap_sem)

Remove down_write(&mm->mmap_sem) in do_set_mempolicy(). This logic
was never correct and it is no longer needed, see the previous patch.
