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/migrate_device: remove dead migration entry check in migrate_vma_collect_huge_pmd()
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:46:11 -0800

The softleaf_is_migration() check is unreachable as entries that are not
device_private are filtered out.  Similarly, the PTE-level equivalent in
migrate_vma_collect_pmd() skips migration entries.

This dead branch also contained a double spin_unlock(ptl) bug.
