What is the git commit id for it in Linus's tree?

And if this is not for Linus's tree, please resubmit it and document the
heck out of why it is not valid for Linus's tree and exactly what stable
trees you want this applied to (hint, 5.11 is long end-of-life and 5.12
only has about 1-2 more weeks left...)
