[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/damon: remove ->before_start of damon_callback
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-damon-remove-before_start-of-damon_callback.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/damon: remove ->before_start of damon_callback
Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2025 09:59:05 -0800

The function pointer field was added to be used as a place to do some
initialization works just before DAMON starts working.  However, nobody is
using it now.  Remove it.
