Looks good to me - it's pretty much what I'd have done if I hadn't
forgotten!
It doesn't strike me as anything critical and I don't have anything else
for this cycle so I'll just queue it in -next for now, and submit it
at the start of the 5.19 cycle in ~2months.

Yeah, I'm not really sure either but this is the only idea I have given
the debug code doesn't list anything left in the cache, and David came
to the same conclusion :/

Can't hurt though, so let's try and see if syzbot complains
again. Thanks for the review!
