Yes, this seems to be the case. The patch below should fix it.

[PATCH] docs-rst: fix PDF build errors

PDF build on Kernel 4.9-rc? returns an error. This is
because we're re-defining a command too late. Move
such redefinition to LaTeX preamble.

Tested by building the documentation on interactive mode:
	make PDFLATEX=xelatex -C Documentation/output/./latex

Fixes: e61a39baf74d ("[media] index.rst: Fix LaTeX error in interactive mode on Sphinx 1.4.x")
