On The conflict shouldn't be that bad to resolve, but since the patch deviates from the original, the new commit message needs to highlight and explain that this is a backport and the reasons of the difference and including the sha of the already merged patch. Similar to the option 3 of the stable rules. [1]. Well, another option is to wait until this patch gets propagated to Linus master and then send the backported version to the stable mailing list. But again, with the proper rules of the option 3.
