Should this patch be moved to the "critical fixes for v6.0" series?

If this check triggers then there is something seriously wrong and in that case
it may also be that this loop may be unable to terminate or the error condition would
keep appearing until the loop terminates (which may be many iterations). Considering
the severity and risk I do think that ASSERT_EQ() would be more appropriate,
similar to how ASSERT_EQ() is used in patch 5/5.

Apart from that I think that this looks good.

Thank you very much for adding this.
