For our purposes being in Linus's tree is good enough. We've already 
back-ported it to our kernel fork (which doesn't really track any of the 
stable branches properly).

I'm happy to route it to stable@ if you think it's worth it but I don't 
think there's a specific Fixes: reference that can be used. The current 
behavior appears to have been that way since before git (looks like we 
noticed in 2014 but it's taken me 6 years to nag people into sending 
their fixes upstream).
