This macro are never used in git history. So better to remove.
When removing unused thingy, it is important to figure out which commit introduced it in the first place and Cc the relevant people in that commit.

Thanks fore reminder, Qian!

This macro was introduced in 1da177e4c3f4 Linux-2.6.12-rc2, no author or commiter could be found.

FYI, seems it was introduced in commit 3aa1dc7725 [PATCH] multithread page reclaim in history tree.

Thanks,
