The patch titled
     Subject: fput: turn "list_head delayed_fput_list" into llist_head
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     fput-turn-list_head-delayed_fput_list-into-llist_head.patch

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

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: fput: turn "list_head delayed_fput_list" into llist_head

fput() and delayed_fput() can use llist and avoid the locking.

This is unlikely path, it is not that this change can improve
the performance, but this way the code looks simpler.
