The patch titled
proc: Remove tasklist_lock from proc_pid_lookup() and proc_task_lookup()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
proc-remove-tasklist_lock-from-proc_pid_lookup-and.patch

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: proc: Remove tasklist_lock from proc_pid_lookup() and proc_task_lookup()
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Since we no longer need the tasklist_lock for get_task_struct the lookup
methods no longer need the tasklist_lock.
This just depends on my previous patch that makes get_task_struct() rcu
safe.
