The quilt patch titled
     Subject: selftests/mm: restore number of hugepages
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftests-mm-restore-number-of-hugepages.patch

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

Subject: selftests/mm: restore number of hugepages
Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2023 10:33:59 -0700

The test mm `hugetlb_fault_after_madv` selftest needs one and only one
huge page to run, thus it sets `/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages` to 1.

The problem is that further tests require the previous number of hugepages
allocated in order to succeed.

Save the number of huge pages before changing it, and restore it once the
test finishes, so, further tests could run successfully.
