I applied Marc Zyngier's identical patch to for-linus for v4.9.  I don't
know which was posted first, but I saw Marc's first.  Sorry I didn't at
least credit you when I applied it.

It's ok.  Seems Marc sent the patch earlier and I didn't notice his patch.  There is no difference as long as the problem is addressed.  :)
