Applies cleanly to 4.15-rc7. But still:
  HOSTCC  scripts/asn1_compiler
  HOSTCC  scripts/extract-cert
  CC      init/main.o
open: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:317: init/main.o] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:1015: init] Error 2


Reverting that patch makes it build again.
