[merged mm-stable] mm-swapfilec-open-code-cluster_alloc_swap.patch removed from -mm tree

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

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/swapfile.c: open code cluster_alloc_swap()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-swapfilec-open-code-cluster_alloc_swap.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/swapfile.c: open code cluster_alloc_swap()
Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2025 17:27:21 +0800

It's only called in scan_swap_map_slots().

And also remove the stale code comment in scan_swap_map_slots() because
it's not fit for the current cluster allocation mechanism.
