Why should this be backported?

I agree, Sasha please drop this from all branches.

I'll drop it, but for the record: I've been picking up patches that help
with log spam like any other regular fixes. Being on the receiving end
of spammy kernel code and making debugging issues much harder, I think
it's as important (if not more) than some other classes of fixes we pick
up.
