syzbot is probably not seeing this problem. However if you don't add
the Reported-by tag to commit, nor provide syz fix tag, it will
consider it as "open". One consequence of this is that it is still on
our radars. Another consequence is that syzbot will never report bugs
in rds_tcp_tune ever again as it thinks that it's the same known bug,
so no point in bothering anybody.
