Thanks for the fix! I've just queued the very same fix I wrote yesterday to
my tree. But yours has better changelog so let me pick your patch instead
;)

For next time, how can we avoid collisions like this? Did you work on the fix
based on the syzbot email sent to the list so if I actually reply to the
syzbot email that I'm working on / already have a fix you'd see it?
