4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
This should not be needed in 4.18 because of a number of crude but effective grace-period forward-progress failsafes. I have not tested it in isolation. It looks harmless enough, but all testing has been in conjunction with a large number of preceding patches.
I therefore strongly recommend against backporting this one.
Now dropped from all 3 queues, thanks for letting me know.
