Reverting the patch is enough to fix the regression.

I'll let you guys decide on the next step for 21.05.

I cannot reproduce this issue on my machine.

@Wan Junjie Could you reproduce this? I prefer to revert the patch if things
are not very clear as it is only a minor optimization.

Thanks,
Chenbo

Hi Chenbo,

I am not available for this now. Please revert it.
Will dig it later.

Thanks,
Junjie

Luckily I can reproduce now. I will take a look.
