5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9a71892cbcdb9d1459c84f5a4c722b14354158a5 upstream.

This reverts commit 15fffc6a5624b13b428bb1c6e9088e32a55eb82c.

This commit causes a regression, so revert it for now until it can come
back in a way that works for everyone.
