Even if this fixes the problem it seems like we are papering over the
real issue, which earlier fixes also did during the release cycle for
v4.13.
Anyway I am happy to apply this as fix for 4.14, if Seraphime/Pavel
can report it solved the problem. Could you send a proper patch with
some changlog please?
I would also appreciate if can add you a small comment in the code,
why moving this line is needed.

Yes, the situations it's just too fragile. We need to fix the behavior
properly, although I haven't myself been able to investigate exactly
how yet.
Adding, Linus, perhaps he has some ideas.
Kind regards
