No, IMHO not here. It would change change behaviour that never worked.
Thus I would suggest fixing this with a follow-up to net-next.
Not sure I agree that it's separate but whatever, I don't want the ioctl
fix to miss rc5.
I'd prefer the netlink fix to also target net, tho. Netlink
functionality should match the IOCTL, targeting -next would put user
space in an awkward position when deciding between the two.
