I applied this to for-linus, and will ask Linus to put it in before
v3.20-rc1, thanks!

Rafael, I applied d2be00c0fb5a, where the bug originally came from, but I
see that you fixed it with 5c493df25a0d and the fix got lost because of an
incorrect merge resolution.  So if you'd rather take this, just let me
know.
