I'd probably drop this one. Nobody is going to care (it took me thousands of
randconfig builds to even run into it), and the surrounding code has changed
a few times, so I'm not completely sure it is still the right fix for
3.16 (it probably
is, but it's not worth the time to investigate more closely I think).

I also looked at the other backports from fixes I did in this series, they all
look fine.
