Yes, I did ask for the patch to be kept since it does not make things
worse for the SMR/mq case (still have a potential dispatch deadlock) but
does cleanup the code in the legacy/sq case.

Since it looks like the jiffies_at_alloc and retry counter
initialization fixes are progressing, we hopefully should be able to get
Bart's pacth back in soon (this week ?) and remove the mq dispatch deadlock.

Best regards.
