In other words, we are not just fixing the bug reported by Eero and Geert, but correcting the blocker tracking mechanism's flawed assumption for -stable ;)

If you feel this doesn't qualify as a fix, I can change the Fixes: tag to point to the original commit that introduced this flawed mechanism instead.

That's really a question for the bug reporters. I don't personally have a problem with CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK_BLOCKER so I can't say whether the fix meets the requirements set in Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst. And I still don't know what's meant by "unnecessary warnings in a few unexpected cases".
