[merged] nilfs2-add-helper-functions-to-delete-blocks-from-dat-file.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: nilfs2: add helper functions to delete blocks from dat file
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     nilfs2-add-helper-functions-to-delete-blocks-from-dat-file.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
Subject: nilfs2: add helper functions to delete blocks from dat file

This adds delete functions for data blocks of metadata files using bitmap
based allocator.  nilfs_palloc_delete_entry_block() deletes an entry block
(e.g.  block storing dat entries), and nilfs_palloc_delete_bitmap_block()
deletes a bitmap block, respectively.

These helpers are intended to be used in the successive change on
deallocator of block addresses ("nilfs2: free unused dat file blocks
during garbage collection").
