I have no authority on linux-block, but I'll say NAK to this one
(and 517/862), and let Jens and Jan overrule me if they disagree.

This was the first of several 6.1-rc1 commits which had given me lost
wakeups never suffered before; was not tagged Cc stable; and (unless I've
missed it on lore) never had AUTOSEL posted to linux-block or linux-kernel.
