I reverted this patch on v4.19.8 and at least one user (Michael, Cc'd)
reported that fixed the regression.

This patch appears to have been included in v4.19.2 (commit
22083c028d0b), reverted in v4.19.3 (commit 8ef305fbc50d), and finally
included again here in v4.19.6 (commit 87403e35bc56). I couldn't find
a discussion about bringing it back, so maybe it happened accidentally?
