The backout was done based on the suggestion that the Dev made:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1186965#c9

The dev was well aware of the crash it caused as well as the tests he could
have backed out of.
Should I have backed out of his tests for that as well?  Based on this
information, it sounds like I should have.

It doesn't make sense to me why a dev knowing that a crash happens doesn't
try to fix the crash before landing the whole thing.  I understand not
wanting to hide an issue, but to not resolve the issue and then have other
people on nightly suffer as well doesn't make sense to me.
