The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/pgtable: add pte_free_defer() for pgtable as page
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-pgtable-add-pte_free_defer-for-pgtable-as-page.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/pgtable: add pte_free_defer() for pgtable as page
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2023 21:39:48 -0700 (PDT)
Add the generic pte_free_defer(), to call pte_free() via call_rcu().
pte_free_defer() will be called inside khugepaged's retract_page_tables()
loop, where allocating extra memory cannot be relied upon. This version
suits all those architectures which use an unfragmented page for one page
table (none of whose pte_free()s use the mm arg which was passed to it).
