If scheduler maintainers think this is appropriate they should take
this patch via their tree (please). connector falls under networking
for historical reasons (it's Netlink based) but we lack the context
necessary to apply a "default y" patch of this nature.

default y should be used if the symbol is necessary for most Linux
users across use cases and architectures. It's not obvious to me
that that is the case here. The commit message links to a tool
which is less than a week old?
