[merged mm-nonmm-stable] hung_task-dump-blocker-task-if-it-is-not-hung.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: hung_task: dump blocker task if it is not hung
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     hung_task-dump-blocker-task-if-it-is-not-hung.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

Subject: hung_task: dump blocker task if it is not hung
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2025 07:11:54 +0900

Dump the lock blocker task if it is not hung because if the blocker task
is also hung, it should be dumped by the detector.  This will de-duplicate
the same stackdumps if the blocker task is also blocked by another task
(and hung).
