Given the problems from last time, it seems like it might be prudent
to let the commit have some time to "breathe" in a proper release, I'd
suggest merging this not for the upcoming v7.2 merge window but
instead waiting for v7.3.

That's fine with me.  I'd also suggest updating the commit description
in patch 1/2 to indicate that binder is no longer using task_euid();
it currently reads like it is still being used.
