I can carry it by myself if it fits to this patchset. However, I believe it
should be independent since it has to be backported much further
than this patchset. I don't know why no one triggered the crash
before call_rcu() was introduced there.

Anyway, I believe you should submit your patch alone, either before
or after this patchset, there should be no conflict.
