Gah! That's pretty nasty. It is in Rob's for-next branch, but it hasn't been marked for backporting to stable. Best thing to do here is for either you or Rob to repost the patch to stable@vger.kernel.org and include the commit id from Rob's tree. It's not upstream yet, but it will be soon.
How far back in kernel releases do you want the patch backported to?
