NOTE: The patch will not be queued to stable trees until it is upstream.
How should we proceed with this patch?
I believe I can try to backport this patch for the failed-to-apply branches.
I will do the same for "[tip: efi/urgent] efi: Fix a race and a buffer overflow while reading efivars via sysfs" (from the same patchset) which may fail to be applied too.
