Here's the script that I use that does just that:
	https://github.com/gregkh/gregkh-linux/blob/master/scripts/fix_in_what_release

It requires 3 things:
	- a directory of all kernel logs to search quickly to avoid 'git
	  log'.  I use the ones I keep at: https://github.com/gregkh/kernel-history/tree/master/logs
	- the stable queue git repo, to be able to search the stable
	  kernel trees quickly.
	- the latest git tree from Linus, to fall back to if the commit
	  isn't in any of the above places.

Hope that helps.
