Whatever happened to this change?

I'm just going through our queue of patches that have been sent upstream 
and expected this one to be gone after we pulled v5.10. Looking at 
Linus's tree I don't see it ever having been applied. I couldn't see 
anything on the relevant mailing lists suggesting that there was a 
problem with this change so I'm just wondering what's happened to it?
