[Devel] - remove-the-likelypid-check-in-copy_process.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Remove the likely(pid) check in copy_process
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     remove-the-likelypid-check-in-copy_process.patch

This patch was dropped because it had testing failures

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Remove the likely(pid) check in copy_process
From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Now that we pass in a struct pid parameter to copy_process() and even the
swapper (pid_t == 0) has a valid struct pid, we no longer need this check.

Changelog:
        Per Eric Biederman's comments, moved this out to a separate
        patch for easier review.
