I don't think this patch is suitable for stable branches. This patch is
part of a patch series that changes the lapb module from "establishing the
L2 connection only when needed by L3", to "establishing the L2 connection
automatically whenever we are able to". This is a behavioral change. It
should be seen as a new feature. It is not a bug fix.

Applying this patch without other patches in the same series will also
introduce problems, because this patch relies on part of the changes
in the subsequent patch in the same series to be correct.

I'll drop it, thanks!
