Hmm. It's not really a fix as such unless there is an in kernel consumer
that is using this and not checking the return value. I thought about dropping
the fixes tag, but it is avoiding confusing the compiler so I suppose we might
as well leave it marked as a fix. I will add a note that this doesn't cause
any known real problems and so probably isn't stable material.

Applied.

Thanks,

Jonathan
