[merged mm-stable] mm-constify-arch_pick_mmap_layout-for-improved-const-correctness.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: constify arch_pick_mmap_layout() for improved const-correctness
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-constify-arch_pick_mmap_layout-for-improved-const-correctness.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: constify arch_pick_mmap_layout() for improved const-correctness
Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2025 22:50:17 +0200

This function only reads from the rlimit pointer (but writes to the
mm_struct pointer which is kept without `const`).

All callees are already const-ified or (internal functions) are being
constified by this patch.
