Yes. there is a patch. unfortunately that patch assumes the selftest has
been moved into selftests/vm directory. One option is -- I merge your
changes in my selftest patchset, and send the entire series for upstream
merge.

Or you can manually massage-in the specific fix.
The patch is "selftests/vm: Fix deadlock in protection_keys.c"
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/864394/

Let me know,
