I'm not sure I agree with this fixes tag. The fixes tag should point
to the earliest commit where any problem may be visible. IIUC you're
targeting net-next because the structure is not used in net. So the
Fixes tag should also point to some commit in net-next...
If we leave it as is after the merge window stable bot will pull this
commit into 6.15 for no good reason.
