[Devel] - use-struct-pid-parameter-in-copy_process.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm at linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     Use struct pid parameter in copy_process()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     use-struct-pid-parameter-in-copy_process.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Use struct pid parameter in copy_process()
From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev at us.ibm.com>

Modify copy_process() to take a struct pid * parameter instead of a pid_t. 
This simplifies the code a bit and also avoids having to call find_pid() to
convert the pid_t to a struct pid.

Changelog:
	- Fixed Badari Pulavarty's comments and passed in &init_struct_pid
	  from fork_idle().
	- Fixed Eric Biederman's comments and simplified this patch and
	  used a new patch to remove the likely(pid) check.
