That's not true, the core already has cleanup for everything else
(as the followup patch in your series identified, though it was a
bit confused as to how).

Without the followup patch (which I don't think is suitable for
stable) this will just remove error checking.  It's not likely to
happen and hence make a difference but on the other hand it
introduces a problem, especially when backported in isolation.
