vN thingies go below the ---, they're pointless to preserve. Which then
turns this Changelog into something that's entirely too short.

It would be good to retain the reference to code that does that.

We don't need more whitespace here, do we?

We should avoid comments like that, and instead use assertions to
enforce them.

Like so:
lockdep_assert_held(&env->src_rq->lock);

This one could use a comment to tell its the complement to
detach_tasks()

And here we obviously want:
