I have looked at the report and suspected fix yestereday and was not
sure that it's really the right fix.  The commit removes some call so it
all looks like an accidental fix and something still might be going on.
So I'm a bit surprised that you mark it as fixed. It will make the
syzbot report go away so from that POV ok and we'll know if it happens
again, but I'd expect at least some analysis before closing the report.
