Fair enough. I'll ignore this patch. Could I assume that it will
be taken via bpf tree, please?

I'll also postpone the patch that removes pr_warning() to avoid
synchronization problems. I'll push it later when changes in
bpf[*] subsystem are merged.

[*] I am going to check conflicts against 5.4-rc1. I'll probably
ask more subsystems to take their changes to avoid conflicts
and make it smooth.
