This particular bug (and bugfix) was found completely unexpectedly by
the XSA-278 PoC.

There is no critical need to backport the bugfix (as it is indeed
benign), except for the fact that because OSSTest has observed that the
PoC fails on that specific hardware, it has come to the (incorrect)
conclusion that we've recently regressed the 4.9 branch.
