Ouch.

Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxx>

However, that git commit is not stable. Instead of Fixes: I would
suggest renaming the patch to "mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault handling
-fix" and replacing Fixes with "This patch is a fix to the mmotm patch
mm-thp-refactor-numa-fault-handling.patch". Andrew usually slots that
into the correct place in his quilt series and collapses the fixes before
sending to Linus which works better with bisection.
