[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: fork: use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() in try_release_thread_stack_to_cache()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     fork-use-this_cpu_try_cmpxchg-in-try_release_thread_stack_to_cache.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() instead of this_cpu_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) ==
old in try_release_thread_stack_to_cache.  x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and
related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).

No functional change intended.
