[merged] selftest-use-mmap-instead-of-posix_memalign-to-allocate-memory.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: selftest: use mmap instead of posix_memalign to allocate memory
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftest-use-mmap-instead-of-posix_memalign-to-allocate-memory.patch

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

From: Peter Collingbourne <pcc@google.com>
Subject: selftest: use mmap instead of posix_memalign to allocate memory

This test passes pointers obtained from anon_allocate_area to the
userfaultfd and mremap APIs.  This causes a problem if the system
allocator returns tagged pointers because with the tagged address ABI the
kernel rejects tagged addresses passed to these APIs, which would end up
causing the test to fail.  To make this test compatible with such system
allocators, stop using the system allocator to allocate memory in
anon_allocate_area, and instead just use mmap.
