I see that now.  It came with tag v4.4-rc3.  The way I read this part
of the commit footer:

	Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

is that the patch is recommended to be applied on all affected
"stable" kernel versions.  I guess the bug was introduced with this
huge (11M) commit:

	commit f1d2b4d338bf090296f67830025228872fd52513
	Author: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>
	Date:   Mon Sep 7 15:59:16 2015 -0500

Any kernel released after that date may be affected.
