And the code that is in conflict is even older.  

I just figured out of an abundance of caution I would make certain the
code was out there for automatic and semi-automatic things to pound on
before I resent my pull request to Linus, now that I have fixed the
stack overflow issue you were complaining about.

I suspect something about fixing mntput caused Stephen to loose his
trivial resolution for this trivial conflict.
