Greg is on CC, but he also sends out a notice in case a stable patch
fails to apply or compile.

Note that if the helper had gone in before the rest of the series, I
could have referenced it in the stable tags using its commit id in order
to facilitate the process:

	Cc: stable <stable@...r.kernel.org>     # 4.15: <commit id>
