The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/page_vma_mapped: delete bogosity in page_vma_mapped_walk()

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

Subject: mm/page_vma_mapped: delete bogosity in page_vma_mapped_walk()
Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2023 18:12:52 -0700 (PDT)
Revert commit a7a69d8ba88d ("mm/thp: another PVMW_SYNC fix in
page_vma_mapped_walk()"): I was proud of that "Aha!" commit at the time,
but in revisiting page_vma_mapped_walk() for pte_offset_map() failure,
that block raised a doubt: and it now seems utterly bogus. The prior
map_pte() has taken ptl unconditionally when PVMW_SYNC: I must have
forgotten that when making the change. It did no harm, but could not have
fixed a BUG or WARN, and is hard to reconcile with coming changes.
