The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/page_alloc: init local variable buddy_pfn
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-page_alloc-init-local-variable-buddy_pfn.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/page_alloc: init local variable buddy_pfn
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2022 15:22:54 +0800

The local variable buddy_pfn could be passed to buddy_merge_likely()
without initialization if the passed in order is MAX_ORDER - 1.  This
looks buggy but buddy_pfn won't be used in this case as there's a order >=
MAX_ORDER - 2 check.  Init buddy_pfn to 0 anyway to avoid possible future
misuse.
