Subject: [GIT PULL] Remove get_kernel_pages() for v6.3

Hi Linus,

Please pull these patches which clean up shm_get_kernel_pages() in the TEE
subsystem and ultimately remove get_kernel_pages(). The patches have only
been in linux-next for close to a week but you told me it was OK to send
them anyway.

I'm normally sending my pull requests to arm-soc, but with the short
time in linux-next and everything I decided to send it directly to you
this time.

Thanks,
Jens

  mm: Remove get_kernel_pages() (2023-02-13 14:16:41 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Remove get_kernel_pages()

Vmalloc page support is removed from shm_get_kernel_pages() and the
get_kernel_pages() call is replaced by calls to get_page(). With no
remaining callers of get_kernel_pages() the function is removed.
