Like it says in Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst:

"...and please provide both the commit ID and the title when citing
commits"

You might want to reword this with something like:

"ceph_mdsc_lease_release was removed by commit 8aa152c77890 (ceph:
remove ceph_mdsc_lease_release). ceph_mdsc_lease_send_msg will never
call this function with CEPH_MDS_LEASE_RELEASE."

It might be possible to trim this function back further. There's only
one caller and it always calls this with the same "action" value. Still,
this looks fine...
