Thanks for this pointing out this scenario, which is correct, although
it was not raised in the original bug description.

I begs however the question whether anything from re-relocation can
survive in the icache from between the moment the relocation starts and
the moment the OS is given transfer to. IOW, was this issue actually
met?

Anyway I stand by my statement that even if there is an issue to fix,
this patch fixes it in the wrong place.
