Thanks Andrew, my 2 cents would have been that my series, which fixes
actual CVEs should go in before folio cleanups. But that's a different
discussion (and the patch is question is just a cleanup part of the same
series, so i don't particularly care).

That change looks good to me. I'd even say that we do the second cleanup
separately, with Yang Shi being the author. But whatever you+others prefer.
