In the interest of making forward progress, I applied these to
for-linus for v4.15.

The issues apparently have been there since v4.12-rc1, but I guess
this is proposed for for-linus because (a) it fixes insidious bugs
and (b) the endpoint framework is relatively little-used yet so
low-risk.  Right?
