Thanks for the backport patches, Lorenzo!  I applied them to branches
22.03 -> 23.09.

Next time though, please:
- add a "cherry picked from ... " line to the commit
- if the backport is straightforward (e.g., this one only had NEWS
conflicts) just request the backport on the original patch email.
- use the correct "[branch-xy.zt]" prefix to the patch subject;
otherwise it confuses the 0-day bot.

Why do we need to backport this to 21.12 though?  That's before the last
LTS and not supported.

Regards,
Dumitru
