This patch was only introduced in 5.2, and wasn't supposed to be
backported to anything else.
All upstream patches are backport candidates. Welcome to RHEL :-)
Great! RHEL gets to keep the pieces! ;-)

I['m afraid you should take this with your distribution of
choice, unless you can reproduce the problem with mainline kernels.
I'll bet this reproduces when migrating from a mainline pre SVE
register
filtering kernel to a mainline that does the filtering. I don't have
time to test that though.
Probably. I'm not really sure where to find SVE HW though, other
than emulation...
