I added the Fixes line, and then later said, "hmm, there's a fixes line, I should add a cc: stable" line. Technically the bug *does* exist in 4.9 and older kernels, and was only exposed post-4.9, but it's for a testing option that no one should care about in production anyway. So there's no need for this to be in the stable trees.
