What happened to this patch? (Re: [BUG] panic after umount (biscted))

["Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>]

I was going through my set of kernel patches that I've cherry picked on
LKML for my private kernel, and I noticed this hasn't gotten merged into
mainline yet.   The original thread was here:

	 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/27/61

and addressed a panic after a umount reported by Sebastian Siewior.  Was
this addressed in some other way?
