The patch titled
     Subject: Revert "mm/z3fold.c: fix race between migration and destruction"
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     revert-mm-z3foldc-fix-race-between-migration-and-destruction.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Vitaly Wool <vitalywool@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: Revert "mm/z3fold.c: fix race between migration and destruction"

With the original commit applied, z3fold_zpool_destroy() may get blocked
on wait_event() for indefinite time.  Revert this commit for the time
being to get rid of this problem since the issue the original commit
addresses is less severe.
