[merged] mm-huge_memoryc-make-get_huge_zero_page-return-bool.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/huge_memory.c: make get_huge_zero_page() return bool
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-huge_memoryc-make-get_huge_zero_page-return-bool.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@huawei.com>
Subject: mm/huge_memory.c: make get_huge_zero_page() return bool

It's guaranteed that huge_zero_page will not be NULL if huge_zero_refcount
is increased successfully.  When READ_ONCE(huge_zero_page) is returned,
there must be a huge_zero_page and it can be replaced with returning
'true' when we do not care about the value of huge_zero_page.  We can thus
make it return bool to save READ_ONCE cpu cycles as the return value is
just used to check if huge_zero_page exists.
