[merged mm-stable] mm-actually-mark-kernel-page-table-pages.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: actually mark kernel page table pages
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-actually-mark-kernel-page-table-pages.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: actually mark kernel page table pages
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 16:26:29 +0800

Now that the API is in place, mark kernel page table pages just after they
are allocated.  Unmark them just before they are freed.

Note: Unconditionally clearing the 'kernel' marking (via
ptdesc_clear_kernel()) would be functionally identical to what is here. 
But having the if() makes it logically clear that this function can be
used for kernel and non-kernel page tables.
