[merged mm-stable] mm-sparse-move-sparse_init_one_section-to-internalh.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/sparse: move sparse_init_one_section() to internal.h
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-sparse-move-sparse_init_one_section-to-internalh.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

Subject: mm/sparse: move sparse_init_one_section() to internal.h
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 23:13:45 +0100

While at it, convert the BUG_ON to a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE, avoid long lines,
and merge sparse_encode_mem_map() into its only caller
sparse_init_one_section().

Clarify the comment a bit, pointing at page_to_pfn().
