Ah, I see my mistake: I had made an identical patch earlier, which you merged
into linux-next, and I dropped it from my series after rebasing on
-next, but then
rebased again on mainline and did the new patch without checking whether
it was already fixed in -next.

I guess the warning is rare enough that we don't really need this in v4.11
even though it does apply there.
