[PATCH v2 14/29] mm/migrate: remove __ClearPageMovable()

From: David Hildenbrand <hidden>
Date: 2025-07-04 10:26:12
Also in: linux-doc, linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, linuxppc-dev, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - memory policy and migration, memory management - page allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Vlastimil Babka, Linus Torvalds

Unused, let's remove it.

The Chinese docs in Documentation/translations/zh_CN/mm/page_migration.rst
still mention it, but that whole docs is destined to get outdated and
updated by somebody that actually speaks that language.
