[merged mm-stable] mm-fixup-documentation-regarding-pte_numa-and-prot_numa.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: fixup documentation regarding pte_numa() and PROT_NUMA
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-fixup-documentation-regarding-pte_numa-and-prot_numa.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: fixup documentation regarding pte_numa() and PROT_NUMA
Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2022 18:46:59 +0200

pte_numa() no longer exists -- replaced by pte_protnone() -- and PROT_NUMA
probably never existed: MM_CP_PROT_NUMA also ends up using PROT_NONE.

Let's fixup the doc.
