[merged mm-stable] mm-compaction-early-termination-in-compact_nodes.patch removed from -mm tree

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

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: compaction: early termination in compact_nodes()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-compaction-early-termination-in-compact_nodes.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: compaction: early termination in compact_nodes()
Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2024 10:25:08 +0800

No need to continue try compact memory if pending fatal signal, allow loop
termination earlier in compact_nodes().

The existing fatal_signal_pending() check does make compact_zone()
break out of the while loop, but it still enters the next zone/next
nid, and some unnecessary functions(eg, lru_add_drain) are called. 
There was no observable benefit from the new test, it is just found
from code inspection when refactoring compact_node().
