[to-be-updated] mm-memory-remove-unused-vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/memory: remove unused vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-memory-remove-unused-vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

Subject: mm/memory: remove unused vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite()
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 23:37:06 +0900

Since commit 38607c62b34b ("fs/dax: properly refcount fs dax pages"),
vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite() has no callers, so the mkwrite argument of
__vm_insert_mixed() and insert_pfn() is always false.

So remove the function, the mkwrite argument and the unreachable mkwrite
branches.  Also merge __vm_insert_mixed() into vmf_insert_mixed().

No functional change.
