wrong choice of work, you "chose" to rebase.  :-)

Just leave it.  Linus and I know how to cope with those (maybe explain to
Linus what happened).  In the future, if you put fixes in your for_linus
branch and *need* those fixes in your for_next branch, then merge your
for_linus branch into your for_next branch instead of cherry-picking the
patches.
