Hey Kees,
  So during the merge window (while chasing a few other regressions),
I noticed occasionally my Dragonboard 845c running AOSP having trouble
with the web browser crashing or other apps hanging, and I've bisected
the issue down to this change.

Unfortunately it doesn't revert cleanly so I can't validate reverting
it sorts things against linus/HEAD.  Anyway, I wanted to check and see
if you had any other reports of similar or any ideas what might be
going wrong?

thanks
