I agree, it should, but it doesn't appear to:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/log/?id=refs/tags/v4.4.2

# git log --grep="bcache:" --oneline | head
532eb52 bcache: remove driver private bio splitting code
9ea18f8 Merge branch 'for-3.19/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
aae4933 md/bcache: use generic io stats accounting functions to simplify 
  io stat accounting d429a36 Merge branch 'for-3.17/drivers' of 
  git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
[...]

Maybe in 4.4.3 after GKH merges the Cc: stable@ tagged commits.
  
It does, however, have the bio splitting code removal in 532eb52, which 
earlier releases do not.
