This does not fix anything in 4.19, and should not be there.

It will break resume for people using resumewait option and using numeric values, as original changelog explains. Eventually, someone will cry regression and we'll have to fix it in the mainline, but no need to bring this to -stable, too.

If this code ever gets hit this patch fixes a reference count leak.
