Ojaswin Mujoo 361eb69fc9 ext4: Remove the logic to trim inode PAs
Earlier, inode PAs were stored in a linked list. This caused a need to
periodically trim the list down inorder to avoid growing it to a very
large size, as this would severly affect performance during list
iteration.

Recent patches changed this list to an rbtree, and since the tree scales
up much better, we no longer need to have the trim functionality, hence
remove it.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
