[merged mm-stable] set_memory-add-__must_check-to-generic-stubs.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: set_memory: add __must_check to generic stubs
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     set_memory-add-__must_check-to-generic-stubs.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: set_memory: add __must_check to generic stubs

Following query shows that architectures that don't provide
asm/set_memory.h don't use set_memory_...() functions.

  $ git grep set_memory_ alpha arc csky hexagon loongarch m68k microblaze mips nios2 openrisc parisc sh sparc um xtensa

Following query shows that all core users of set_memory_...()
functions always take returned value into account:

  $ git grep -w -e set_memory_ro -e set_memory_rw -e set_memory_x -e set_memory_nx -e set_memory_rox `find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | grep -v arch | grep /`

set_memory_...() functions can fail, leaving the memory attributes
unchanged. Make sure all callers check the returned code.
