The patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
revert-slabc-lockdep-locking-change.patch

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: revert slab.c lockdep locking change
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
Chandra Seetharaman reported SLAB crashes caused by the slab.c lock
annotation patch. There is only one chunk of that patch that has a
material effect on the slab logic - this patch undoes that chunk.
