The patch titled
Subject: mm/mempolicy: unify the parameter sanity check for mbind and set_mempolicy
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-mempolicy-unify-the-parameter-sanity-check-for-mbind-and-set_mempolicy.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Feng Tang <feng.tang@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/mempolicy: unify the parameter sanity check for mbind and set_mempolicy
Currently the kernel_mbind() and kernel_set_mempolicy() do almost the same
operation for parameter sanity check.
Add a helper function to unify the code to reduce the redundancy, and make
it easier for changing the sanity check code in future.
[thanks to David Rientjes for suggesting using helper function instead of
macro].
