As I'm not sure if previous patch is already applied to tree, so I
make this fix a individual patch and mentioned in cover letter that
this could be folded if previous patch is not in tree or this could
be applied individually to fix the introduced issue. As Androw told
me that little fixups would be preferred instead of entire resend in
current stage, I guess a new series with this patch foled should not
be necessary. If a new series is still needed, please let me konw.
I would like to it.

Thanks.
