6.1 stable is broken and gives build warning without:

cbe7cff4a76b ("blktrace: use inline function for blk_trace_remove() while blktrace is disabled")

Could you please submit it to stable for 6.1? (I could have done that but it
looks like you already backported related patches so its best for you to do
it, thanks for your help!).

thanks,
