[merged] mm-teach-pfn_to_online_page-to-consider-subsection-validity.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm: teach pfn_to_online_page() to consider subsection validity
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-teach-pfn_to_online_page-to-consider-subsection-validity.patch

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

Subject: mm: teach pfn_to_online_page() to consider subsection validity

pfn_to_online_page is primarily used to filter out offline or fully
uninitialized pages.  pfn_valid resp.  online_section_nr have a coarse
per memory section granularity.  If a section shared with a partially
offline memory (e.g.  part of ZONE_DEVICE) then pfn_to_online_page
would lead to a false positive on some pfns.  Fix this by adding
pfn_section_valid check which is subsection aware.
