This looks good, but it doesn't apply to my tty-next branch in
linux-next, so I can't apply it.

But, when you redo it, here's one tiny thing to change:

No need to mention the NULL thing here, "do not touch" doesn't mean
much to me.

No need to test for NULL, just set them, it can't really hurt, right?
