The patch titled
     Subject: mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-slab-make-cache_grow-handle-the-page-allocated-on-arbitrary-node.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

Subject: mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node

Currently, cache_grow() assumes that allocated page's nodeid would be same
with parameter nodeid which is used for allocation request.  If we discard
this assumption, we can handle fallback_alloc() case gracefully.  So, this
patch makes cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node and
clean-up relevant code.
