Thank you. It is indeed an excellent idea to backport it, since it is a
7-year-old bug with a full regression-less fix.

Now you might also consider carrying along a related patch, that should have
been in the same patchset but was not due to hesitations in recommendations:

(commit in mainline)
ca34aceb322b   net: sched: u32: Add test case for systematic hnode IDR leaks

This patch adds a tdc test. I don't know whether it is customary to backport the
tests too. Please ignore this request if it isn't.

Best regards,

-Alex
