What does LAG stand for?

FWIW the cherry-pick within the RT-stable tree worked without conflict.
    (cherry picked from commit a99e09659e6cd4b633c3689f2c3aa5f8a816fe5b)
It compiles.
See 58a584ee59b2 signal: Prevent double-free of user struct in 
linux-stable-rt.git/v4.9-rt-next

This was added to 4.9.y on March 20, 2020.
commit 4306259ff6b8b682322d9aeb0c12b27c61c4a548 in linux-stable.

How did you find this issue?  What is missing from my testing?

Do you have a test case that I can conferm my cherry-pick works?
Could you test the v4.9-rt-next branch to see if it fixes you issue?
