To be clear I'd like to just drop the 2 patches which use zero_user() for this
merge window.

I've already submitted some additional btrfs changes for 5.13[1].  I can rework
these zero_user() patches and submit them through Andrew for 5.13 as separate
set.  That is what I meant by 'I will change it'.

I'm ok with delaying the memzero_page() change to 5.13.  There are a lot of
kmap changes to come.  But I'm trying to do them as smaller series just for
this reason.  I don't want valid changes to be denied due to my messing up just
a few patches...  :-(  Hopefully you and Linus can forgive me on this one.

Is ok to just drop them and merge the rest of this series in 5.12?
