I got another report while the commit was backported to 5.14-based
openSUSE Leap kernel, and I ended up with dropping it.

So, IMO, it's safer to drop this patch from the older stable trees.
As far as I see, 5.15.y and 5.10.y got this.

Unless anyone gives a better fix, I'm going to submit a revert patch
for those trees.
