4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gre...@linuxfoundation.org>
This reverts commit a853301f77b5c4feb5e17aebfd92018269525523 which was
commit a8b149d32b663c1a4105273295184b78f53d33cf upstream.
The backport was not correct, so just drop it entirely.
