The whole large hunk with deletion part of the block move will be rejected in
current trees because this is apparently based on older commit than 2a03085ce887
("mm/zbud: don't export any zbud API") which adds a "depends on ZPOOL" to the
above. It's thus also missing in the add hunk part of the move and if not
careful when resolving the reject, the depend will then be missing in the result.
