I suppose we may as well backport it - there may be new users of maple
tree which *do* trigger this, and anyone who who tries to backport
those users into earlier kernels will get a nasty surprise.

So I'll add cc:stable to v3, but I won't queue it as a hotfix, so it's
well tested before we propose the backport.
