Hello,

syzbot tried to test the proposed patch but the build/boot failed:

failed to copy syz-execprog to VM: scp failed: failed to run ["scp" "-P" "36338" "-F" "/dev/null" "-o" "UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null" "-o" "IdentitiesOnly=yes" "-o" "BatchMode=yes" "-o" "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" "-o" "ConnectTimeout=10" "-v" "/syzkaller/jobs/linux/gopath/src/github.com/google/syzkaller/bin/linux_amd64/syz-execprog" "root@localhost:/syz-execprog"]: exit status 1
