Ya, I'll do it.  My testing box was just tied up last night for the rc8 
PR, so I threw this on for-next to get the buildbots to take a look.  
It's a bit too late to take something for this week, as I try to be 
pretty conservative this late in the cycle.  There's another kprobes fix 
on the list so if we end up with an rc8 I might send this along with 
that, otherwise this'll just go onto for-next before the linear map 
changes that exercise the bug.

You're more than welcome to just dig up the fixes tag and reply, my 
scripts pull all tags from replies (just like Revieweb-by).  Otherwise 
I'll do it myself, most people don't really post Fixes tags that 
accurately so I go through it for pretty much everything anyway.

Thanks for sorting this out so quickly!
