[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: remove __vfree_deferred
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Subject: mm: remove __vfree_deferred
Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2023 08:10:44 +0100

Fold __vfree_deferred into vfree_atomic, and call vfree_atomic early on
from vfree if called from interrupt context so that the extra low-level
helper can be avoided.
