Subject: mm/pgtable: delete pmd_trans_unstable() and friends
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Delete pmd_trans_unstable, pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() and
pmd_devmap_trans_unstable(), all now unused.

With mixed feelings, delete all the comments on pmd_trans_unstable().
That was very good documentation of a subtle state, and this series does
not even eliminate that state: but rather, normalizes and extends it,
asking pte_offset_map[_lock]() callers to anticipate failure, without
regard for whether mmap_read_lock() or mmap_write_lock() is held.

Retain pud_trans_unstable(), which has one use in __handle_mm_fault(), but
delete its equivalent pud_none_or_trans_huge_or_dev_or_clear_bad().  While
there, move the default arch_needs_pgtable_deposit() definition up near
where pgtable_trans_huge_deposit() and withdraw() are declared.
