FYI, this patch is applied to damon/next [1] tree. If this patch is not added
to mm.git in short term (~1 week?), I will ask mm.git maintainer (Andrew
Morton) to pick this. So, no action from your side is needed for now. If it
seems I also forgot doing that or you cannot wait for my action, please feel
free to directly ask that to Andrew.
