This patch causes all riscv64 images to crash. Reverting it
as well as the follow-up patch fixes the problem, but there are
still several warning messages starting with
	BUG kmem_cache (Not tainted): Freechain corrupt
I did not try to track down this other problem.

A detailed crash log is at
	https://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-riscv64-next/builds/523/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio

Bisect log is attached.
