Sorry, this patch was based on the net tree.

Yes, that should be ok. Here is the complete patch for v3.14.29:

Subject: [PATCH RFC v3.14.29] xfrm: Fix local error reporting crash with interfamily tunnels

We set the outer mode protocol too early. As a result, the
local error handler might dispatch to the wrong address family
and report the error to a wrong socket type. We fix this by
seting the outer protocol to the skb only after we accessed the
inner mode for the last time, right before we do the atcual
encapsulation where we switch finally to the outer mode.
The settings in xfrm{4,6}_output_finish() are removed.
