Hi Sasha,

I didn't tag i_ceph_lock series for stable because this is a very old
bug which no one ever hit in real life, at least to my knowledge.

Please note that each of these patches requires 5c498950f730 ("libceph:
allow ceph_buffer_put() to receive a NULL ceph_buffer").

Thanks,

                Ilya
