[merged mm-nonmm-stable] lib-list_debugc-detect-uninitialized-lists.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: lib/list_debug.c: Detect uninitialized lists
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     lib-list_debugc-detect-uninitialized-lists.patch

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

Subject: lib/list_debug.c: Detect uninitialized lists
Date: Tue, 31 May 2022 15:29:51 -0700

In some circumstances, attempts are made to add entries to or to remove
entries from an uninitialized list.  A prime example is
amdgpu_bo_vm_destroy(): It is indirectly called from
ttm_bo_init_reserved() if that function fails, and tries to remove an
entry from a list.  However, that list is only initialized in
amdgpu_bo_create_vm() after the call to ttm_bo_init_reserved() returned
success.  This results in crashes such as

Check if the list's prev and next pointers are NULL to catch such problems.
