The patch titled
Subject: kernel/cred.c: make init_groups static
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kernel-credc-make-init_groups-static.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kernel/cred.c: make init_groups static
init_groups is declared in both cred.h and init_task.h, but it is not
actually referenced anywhere outside of cred.c where it is defined. So
make it static and remove the declarations.
