That commit has absolutely nothing to do with NTP. I fear your bisect went down the wrong road somewhere.

This looks pretty familiar.
The issue was introduced with commit 5e5aeb4367b (time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values). That patch was tagged for stable, so it got backported.
The fix is in commit 29183a70b0b82 (ntp: Fixup adjtimex freq validation on 32-bit systems). That commit was tagged for stable as well, but with the extra '#3.19+' limitation.
So in the worst case 5e5aeb4367b hit a stable tree < 3.19, but 29183a70b0b82 did not.
Thanks,
