Subject: [PATCH] Driver core / memory: Simplify __memory_block_change_state()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

As noted by Tang Chen, the last_online field in struct memory_block
introduced by commit 4960e05 (Driver core: Introduce offline/online
callbacks for memory blocks) is not really necessary, because
online_pages() restores the previous state if passed ONLINE_KEEP as
the last argument.  Therefore, remove that field along with the code
referring to it.

Hi,

The patch is on top (and the commit mentioned in the changelog is present in)
the acpi-hotplug branch of the linux-pm.git tree.

Thanks,
Rafael
