Crap.

Mathieu, seems that the "slow down 10x" patch was able to be backported
to 5.10, where as this patch was not. Reason being is that
start_poll_synchronize_rcu() was added in 5.13.

This means because the other patch was able to be backported without
this patch, we just slowed down disabling all events! Which may be a
surprise to some people not expecting a stable branch from having such
a big performance regression :-/
