This looks like a goof on my part. I have a later patch in this series
that eliminates that call. In an earlier patch series, these patches
were in reverse order and I neglected to fix this when I reordered the
series.

I think Andrew ended up dropping this patch from -mm for the time
being. It's going to need modification anyway due to other changes, so
it's probably best that it find its way to mainline via his tree.
