Yeah, I had forgotten about that syzkaller report entirely.

I'm not sure we can do much about it now that the patch is already
merged though. Is there a process for amending changelogs for patches
already in Linus' tree?

If I had gotten this email while it was still sitting in linux-next, I
would have added that line. The syzkaller folks might want to consider
occasionally doing these sorts of checks vs. linux-next to catch this
sort of thing, if they care about the attribution.
