I confirm, it went through the s390 maintainer tree, here is the
upstream commit already in Linus' master:

commit e24e4712efad737ca09ff299276737331cd021d9
Author: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
Date: Wed Apr 10 12:28:41 2019 +0200

s390/rseq: use trap4 for RSEQ_SIG

Use trap4 as the guard instruction for the restartable sequence abort
handler.

Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

So you can either drop it from your end of the pull request, or Linus will
deal with the merge, as you prefer.

Thanks!

Mathieu
