The quilt patch titled
     Subject: include/linux/once_lite.h: fix judgment in WARN_ONCE with clang
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     fix-redundant-judgment-in-warn_once-with-clang.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: include/linux/once_lite.h: fix judgment in WARN_ONCE with clang
Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2025 16:37:15 +0800

For c code:
```c
extern int xx;
void test(void)
{
	if (WARN_ONCE(xx, "x"))
		__asm__ volatile ("nop":::);
}
```

Clang will generate the following assembly code:
```assemble
test:
	movl	xx(%rip), %eax // Assume xx == 0 (likely case)
	testl	%eax, %eax // judge once
	je	.LBB0_3    // jump to .LBB0_3
	testb	$1, test.__already_done(%rip)
	je	.LBB0_2
.LBB0_3:
	testl	%eax, %eax // judge again
	je	.LBB0_5    // jump to .LBB0_5
.LBB0_4:
	nop
.LBB0_5:
	retq
	// omit
```

In the above code, `xx == 0` should be a likely case, but in this case,
xx has been judged twice.

Test info:
1. kernel source:
linux-next
commit 9c0826a5d9aa4d52206d ("Add linux-next specific files for 20251107")
2. compiler:
clang: Debian clang version 21.1.4 (8) with
Debian LLD 21.1.4 (compatible with GNU linkers)
3. config:
base on default x86_64_defconfig, and setting:
CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETHUNK=n
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=n

Add unlikely to __ret_cond to help the compiler optimize correctly.
