Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1851481]
Comment 2 Justin M. Forbes 2020-06-29 14:29:45 UTC 
This was fixed for Fedora with the 5.1 kernel rebases.
Comment 3 Alex 2020-07-06 09:29:57 UTC 
The affected functionality not used by rhel* (means not inside kernel).
Checked that non-relevant for rhel*.
Closing as NOTABUG.
