I do not know what to do about this.


This problem had already been fixed by a different
patch, which is queued up in linux-next.

9a950154668729a472d17b8e307d92e7c60f45f7

This patch
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11505803/

So, the future releases will be OK.


For back-porting to the stable kernel,
your one-liner fixup is simpler.
