Hmm... the e-mail in question[1] was sent by Qian Cai, but there was a

From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@gmail.com>

in the first line of the body which attributed the patch to you. But
then e-mail continues:

Sergey didn't like the locking order .... but those code is so old,
and I have no clue how to de-couple it after checking other locks in
the splat. There is an onging effort to make all printk() as deferred,
so until that happens, workaround it for now as a short-term fix.

So did Qian Cai author the patch, and this should have been
"Reported-by Sergey Senozhatsky"? In which case I need a
Signed-off-by from Qian Cai.

This is a pretty trivial patch, but it would be good to get the
attributions and credit correct!
