[merged mm-stable] migrate_pages-remove-unnecessary-list_safe_reset_next.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: migrate_pages(): remove unnecessary list_safe_reset_next()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     migrate_pages-remove-unnecessary-list_safe_reset_next.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: migrate_pages(): remove unnecessary list_safe_reset_next()
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2022 16:14:02 +0800

Before commit b5bade978e9b ("mm: migrate: fix the return value of
migrate_pages()"), the tail pages of THP will be put in the "from"
list directly.  So one of the loop cursors (page2) needs to be reset,
as is done in try_split_thp() via list_safe_reset_next().  But after
the commit, the tail pages of THP will be put in a dedicated
list (thp_split_pages).  That is, the "from" list will not be changed
during splitting.  So, it's unnecessary to call list_safe_reset_next()
anymore.

This is a code cleanup, no functionality changes are expected.
