has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     drivers-base-memory-add-memory-block-to-memory-group-after-registration-succeeded.patch

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

Subject: drivers/base/memory: add memory block to memory group after registration succeeded

If register_memory() fails, we freed the memory block but already added
the memory block to the group list, not good.  Let's defer adding the
block to the memory group to after registering the memory block device.

We do handle it properly during unregister_memory(), but that's not
called when the registration fails.
