[merged mm-stable] mm-gup-make-get_user_pages_fast_only-return-the-common-return-value.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/gup: make get_user_pages_fast_only() return the common return value
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-gup-make-get_user_pages_fast_only-return-the-common-return-value.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/gup: make get_user_pages_fast_only() return the common return value
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2023 16:34:32 -0400

There are only two callers, both can handle the common return code:

- get_user_page_fast_only() checks == 1

- gfn_to_page_many_atomic() already returns -1, and the only caller
  checks for negative return values

Remove the restriction against returning negative values.
