Quoting Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>

I don't expect any problem with backporting this, but I don't see how
this
follows the stable kernel rules
(Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst).
I don't see what distinguishes this patch from ones that don't get
picked up by
AUTOSEL; it seems pretty arbitrary to me.

And I agree, this should not be in stable.
