I ran this patch through a total of 14 syskaller tests, 2 test runs each on
7 different crashes reported by syzkaller (as reported to the linux-kernel
mailing list). No problems were reported. I also ran a single cross-check
with one of the syzkaller runs on top of v6.0-rc1, without this patch.
That test run failed.
Overall, I think we can call this fixed.
