Applied to the vfs.misc branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree.
Patches in the vfs.misc branch should appear in linux-next soon.
Please report any outstanding bugs that were missed during review in a
new review to the original patch series allowing us to drop it.

Could you please double-check this was indeed applied? I can't see it

It was applied it's just not pushed out yet because of another patch
discussion. It should show up in the next 30 minutes though.
