[merged mm-nonmm-stable] kho-convert-__kho_abort-to-return-void.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: kho: convert __kho_abort() to return void
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kho-convert-__kho_abort-to-return-void.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: kho: convert __kho_abort() to return void
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 13:59:51 -0500

The internal helper __kho_abort() always returns 0 and has no failure
paths.  Its return value is ignored by __kho_finalize and checked
needlessly by kho_abort.

Change the return type to void to reflect that this function cannot fail,
and simplify kho_abort by removing dead error handling code.
