Great job! Since this is a really old bug you're fixing I believe that the
patchset applies for stable as well as mainline.

According to Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt all you need to do
is add a 'Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org' tag in your sign-off area.

Stable people will take care of picking the patch when it hits
mainline. You should receive a mail notification about patches
being included in stable kernels.

Thanks,
