Done, it's commit e386dfc56f83 ("fget: clarify and improve
__fget_files() implementation") in my tree now.

I didn't mark it as "Fixes:" or for stable, because I can't imagine
that it matters in real life.

But then it  struck me that Greg has mentioned that he ends up getting
a lot of performance regression reports for people testing stable and
they can be distracting.

So I'm adding a stable cc here just so people are aware of this as a
"yeah, will-it-scale.poll2 performance regression has been reported,
has a fix available if somebody cares".
