[merged mm-stable] mempolicy-mpol_shared_policy_init-without-pseudo-vma.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mempolicy: mpol_shared_policy_init() without pseudo-vma
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mempolicy-mpol_shared_policy_init-without-pseudo-vma.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mempolicy: mpol_shared_policy_init() without pseudo-vma
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2023 02:22:59 -0700 (PDT)

mpol_shared_policy_init() does not need to use a pseudo-vma: it can use
sp_alloc() and sp_insert() directly, since the object's shared policy tree
is empty and inaccessible (needing no lock) at get_inode() time.
