The patch was merged at the same time as I was writing my reply.

Since the patch went to the "net.git" tree where only bug fixes are
accepted, any further rework would have to go to "net-next.git".
A resynchronization (merge net into net-next) takes place weekly, one
should take place later today or tomorrow, I think. So if you're going
to send a follow-up patch, I'd wait until "net-next" contains your
change.

That being said, it's not all that critical to follow up with another
patch. I simply hadn't noticed your patch was merged, but it does the
job as well, just not in the same style as the rest of these 2 functions.
