I chose 07928d9bfc81 ("padata: Remove broken queue flushing"), because
that one reads like it fixed a couple of much more severe padata
lifetime issues, it only missed the relatively minor one addressed here,
in a sense.

Or to put it the other way around: if one were to backport this patch
here, 07928d9bfc81 should probably get picked first, I think.

But I'd be fine with any Fixes tag, of course, I don't have a strong
opinion on this matter.

Thanks!
