This reverts commit 2343bcdb4747d4f418a4daf2e898b94f86c24a59.

Unfortunately, as Greg pointed out I totally missed the fact that this
patch came from a umn.edu patch. umn.edu is still banned from contributing
to the Linux kernel, so let's revert this for the time being. I'll
re-evaluate this fix myself later and send another fix if this ends up
being valid.

on further reconsideration: Self-NAKing this. I don't see any issues with
those patches.

I agree, the original change looks correct here.  Thanks for the
re-review.
