It's a good question I've never asked. If it's essentially certain
this fix would go in the mainline kernel, I'd guess there's a good
likelihood the kernel team would add the patch in rawhide/f23 kernel,
which you can use on Fedora 22. So it's worth asking them if you can't
or don't want to build it. That would be a 4.1.0 git kernel however.

If you want to build it against something else like 3.19 or 4.0 then
you'd need to build it yourself. I personally find it easier to build
kernels from kernel.org source for this purpose, Fedora's custom
kernel instructions work for Fedora 21 and it's handy in that it'll
build rpms so you can build on one system and install on others
(there's a way to tar it up when building from kernel.org source but
I've never done that).
