Patch 1/2 of this series is a fix for net, with a Fixes tag.
IMHO, it looks good.

This patch, however, is a clean-up/enhancement.
It doesn't have a Fixes tag, which is good.
But I think it should be targeted at net-next
(once patch 1/2 has been accepted into net, and
net has been merged into net-next; also, given the timing,
once net-next reopens as It's likely to close rather soon
for the merge window).

Perhaps it is possible for the maintainers to pick up
patch 1/2, leaving this patch as follow-up.

The above notwithstanding, this patch looks good to me.
