The patch titled
     Subject: ptrace/x86: simplify the "disable" logic in ptrace_write_dr7()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ptrace-x86-simplify-the-disable-logic-in-ptrace_write_dr7.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ptrace/x86: simplify the "disable" logic in ptrace_write_dr7()

ptrace_write_dr7() looks unnecessarily overcomplicated.  We can factor out
ptrace_modify_breakpoint() and do not do "continue" twice, just we need to
pass the proper "disabled" argument to ptrace_modify_breakpoint().
