[bionic:linux][PULL] LP:#1848739 - [linux] Patch to prevent possible data corruption

[Marcelo Henrique Cerri]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848739

This patch set was already included into the 4.15 xenial:linux-azure
kernel, but it affects all our 4.15 kernels and the same issue was
already reported for the 4.15 linux-gcp kernel.

The patch set was already tested against linux-gcp, as described on
the LP bug, with positive results. Since we have positive feedbacks
with both linux-azure and linux-gcp, the risk of regression for the
inclusion on the 4.15 master kernel should be small.
