Be aware that this is not the version picked up by Andrew. It would
not hurt to resend as V2 with a changelog and a note saying it replaces
mm-fix-null-ptr-dereference-in-__count_immobile_pages.patch in mmotm.
This is just in case the wrong one gets merged due to this thread
getting lost in the noise of Andrew's inbox.
