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/mglru: improve should_run_aging()
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2024 06:05:35 +0000

scan_control *sc does not need to be passed into should_run_aging(), as it
provides only the reclaim priority.  This can be moved to
get_nr_to_scan().

Refactor should_run_aging() and get_nr_to_scan() to improve code
readability.  No functional changes.
