Thank you for spotting and investigating that!

I dropped that specific line while fixing a small merge conflict from

    788d0824269b io_uring: import 5.15-stable io_uring

Interestingly enough, I didn't see that problem while running stress-ng.
I may need to add a few more, different, systems to my test base.

Anyway, I will add this fix to the next build.
