Good point, I totally forgot we once allocated one extra entry.
However, prior to commit bcecb4bbf88a which introduced the
extra one entry, this bug exists too, IIUC. Commit bcecb4bbf88a
is merged 18 months after commit 5d49de532002 which is
supposed to the one introduced this bug.
On the other hand, it does not harm even if we backport this
to a kernel release with commit bcecb4bbf88a.
Thanks.
