The commit is a regression fix during the 5.2 cycle, how it could end up
in a 4.19 stable candidate?

$ git describe  03628cdbc64db6
v5.1-rc7-201-g03628cdbc64d

$ git describe --contains 03628cdbc64db6
v5.2-rc1~163^2~26

And it does not belong to 5.2 either, git cherry-pick on top of 5.2
fails.

I think such sanity check can be done automatically so the patches don't
accidentally land in trees where don't belong.
