No, this isn't a new use - a Fixes: tag indicates that the referenced
commit introduced the problem being fixed and that is exactly what's
going on here. Like I say the selftests are not a completely separate
project, they are a part of the same source release as the rest of the
kernel and it is helpful to track information like this.
