Hi Alistair!

The above "Fixes:" tag looks wrong to me, because that commit did not create
the broken locking that this patch fixes. Therefore, I think that particular line
should be removed from the commit description.

Another note below:

This is new, and not mentioned in the commit log, and therefore quite
surprising. It seems like the right thing to do but it also seems like a
different fix! I'm not saying that it should be a separate patch, but it
does seem worth loudly mentioning in the commit log, yes?
