That assumption was valid for the code as of v5.9; this change was only
 needed to support the extra queues that were added for encap offloads.
Thus, this patch shouldn't be backported, unless -stable is also planning
 to backport that feature (e.g. 0ce8df661456, 24b2c3751aa3), which I
 doubt (it's nearly 20 patches, and can't be considered a bugfix).
