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).
