Things appear to be misordered here.

[1/2] "kho: fix unpreservation of higher-order vmalloc preservations"
	fixes a667300bd53f2, so it's wanted in 6.18-rcX

[2/2] "kho: warn and exit when unpreserved page wasn't preserved"
	fixes fc33e4b44b271, so it's wanted in 6.16+

So can we please have [2/2] as a standalone fix against latest -linus,
with a cc:stable?

And then [1/2] as a standalone fix against latest -linus without a
cc:stable.


Once I have those merged up we can then take a look at what to do about
the 6.19 material which is presently queued in mm-unstable.

Thanks.
