Ah, right, it got rebased. The commit ID in today's linux-next
is 917fad29febd. Most trees in linux-next don't rebase so this
would not be an issue, but you are right that this one clearly
did, so the line is wrong here.

The commit is now delayed until 4.21 I assume.

to extend the changelog to explain that situation better.
