Hi Geert,

That only means I messed up. I apply patches to for-linus or topic branches
and then merge all topics to for-linus and send that to Linus.

In this case I didn't see this in any of the topics or for-linus which means
I applied to next which I usually trash and keep rebuiling on latest -rc.

Now git helped me track this commit on a deleted branch (which reminds us
what a wonderful thing git is... screwed up, dont worrry git is our
superhero to rescue).

I have cherry-picked this patch and applied to for-4.5 branch and will
send to Linus in few days along with few more fixes.

Thanks for reporting
