4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh@linuxfoundation.org
This reverts commit 1139d77d8a7f9aa6b6ae0a1c902f94775dad2f52 which is commit 53c81e95df1793933f87748d36070a721f6cb287 upstream.
Ben writes that there are a number of follow-on patches needed to fix this up, but they get complex to backport, and some custom fixes are needed, so let's just revert this and wait for a "real" set of patches to resolve this to be submitted if it is really needed.
