I have tested in 3.10.56, the bug is still existing and the patch is apply to 
3.10-stable.
Follow is the result without/with this patch based on 3.10.56.

3.10.56 without the patch:
bash-4.2# perf stat -e ref-cycles sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

 0 ref-cycles

   1.002461500 seconds time elapsed

3.10.56 with the patch:
bash-4.2# perf stat -e ref-cycles sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

ref-cycles

   1.002385243 seconds time elapsed

 Yes, it's in 3.16.4, did I do something wrong by accepting it?

Nah, it's a trivial patch that I struggle to get excited about. I'm just not
sure why it's being sent again, after you already accepted it.

Yes, it's in 3.16.4, in my opinion 3.10 need it too, can we put it into 3.10 or
do we have the plan?

Does it apply to 3.10-stable?  Did you test it there and see if it
resolves your issue?
