4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Martijn Coenen <maco@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7aa135fcf26377f92dc0680a57566b4c7f3e281b upstream. This can't happen with normal nodes (because you can't get a ref to a node you own), but it could happen with the context manager; to make the behavior consistent with regular nodes, reject transactions into the context manager by the process owning it.
