[merged mm-stable] mm-khugepaged-make-khugepaged_enter-void-function.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: khugepaged: make khugepaged_enter() void function
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-khugepaged-make-khugepaged_enter-void-function.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: mm: khugepaged: make khugepaged_enter() void function

The most callers of khugepaged_enter() don't care about the return value. 
Only dup_mmap(), anonymous THP page fault and MADV_HUGEPAGE handle the
error by returning -ENOMEM.  Actually it is not harmful for them to ignore
the error case either.  It also sounds overkilling to fail fork() and page
fault early due to khugepaged_enter() error, and MADV_HUGEPAGE does set
VM_HUGEPAGE flag regardless of the error.
