This reverts commit 0c85a7e87465f2d4cbc768e245f4f45b2f299b05. The games with 'rm' are on (two separate instances) of a local variable, and make no difference. Quoting Aditya Pakki: "I was the author of the patch and it was the cause of the giant UMN revert. The patch is garbage and I was unaware of the steps involved in retracting it. I *believed* the maintainers would pull it, given it was already under Greg's list. The patch does not introduce any bugs but is pointless and is stupid. I accept my incompetence and for not requesting a revert earlier."

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.
