Series applied, and patch #2 queued up for -stable.

I was thinking about Fixes tags for the situation in patch #2 a bit,
and it's probably best to list two Fixes tags.  One for the original
bug that wasn't fixed properly, and one for the incomplete fix.

It's nice that you mentioned the incomplete fix in the commit message
but a backporter might miss this chain of commits and dependencies it
if it isn't in the Fixes: tags.

Thanks.
