4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This reverts commit 4f4374a9bd25b333971e6f2656b642d29e2efe7b which was commit a6795a585929d94ca3e931bc8518f8deb8bbe627 upstream. Turns out this causes problems and was to fix a patch only in the 4.19 and newer tree.
