Sorry for this. I included the word "commit" because checkpatch.pl
actually complains when it's missing when a commit is referenced
outside the tags in the commit message.

I actually did a quick search for /Fixes: commit/ in the git log at the
time, but apparently it's a common mistake to make...

Perhaps I can see if I can teach checkpatch.pl to warn about this in
future.
