Nit: Please remove the stray newline so all the tags appear together.

Thanks for splitting [0] into two ... but this fix depends on the previous patch - which
isn't an issue that anyone can hit, and doesn't match Greg's 'stable-kernel-rules'.

Please separate out this patch - and post it on its own as a stand-alone fix that can be
sent to the stable trees.


Mixing fixes with other patches leads to problems like this. It isn't possible to pick
this fix independently of the cleanup in the previous patch.


Thanks,

James
