Actually I was wrong and the problem exists even without my
refactoring in [1]. I posted the fix at [2] and I based it on
slab/for-next because that's the only branch that contains [1]. Not
because [2] requires [1] but because they are changing adjacent code,
so would create merge problems if merged separately.
