The quilt patch titled
     Subject: scripts/gdb: fix 'lx-current' for x86
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     scripts-gdb-fix-lx-current-for-x86.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

When printing the name of the current process, it will report an error:
(gdb) p $lx_current().comm Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> No symbol
"current_task" in current context.: Error occurred in Python: No symbol
"current_task" in current context.

Because e57ef2ed97c1 ("x86: Put hot per CPU variables into a struct")
changed it.
