There is no single reference commit.

The new capi: was introduced in
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c?id=33d2f09fcb357fd1861c4959d1d3505492bf91f8

but I think the second part applies even to older kernel, but not sure it makes sense to fix it there (I guess not)...

So perhaps the best is to apply it to stable kernel >= 4.12
