[merged mm-stable] mm-sparse-rename-and-cleanup-sparse_init_nid.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/sparse: rename and cleanup sparse_init_nid()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-sparse-rename-and-cleanup-sparse_init_nid.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

From: "David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <david@kernel.org>
Subject: mm/sparse: rename and cleanup sparse_init_nid()
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 21:58:56 +0200

Let's rename it to "sparse_metadata_init_nid", avoid the "pnum"
terminology and drop the function comment.  Further, rename the "map"
variable to "mem_map" for consistency with other functions.
