Linux kernel 4.19 and below misses the patch - "fbmem: add margin check to fb_check_caps()"

Hi stable maintainers,

It seems that Linux kernel 4.19 and below miss the patch - "fbmem: add
margin check to fb_check_caps()" [1]. Linux kernel 5.4 and up is
already merged this patch[2].

Are there any special issues about this patch? Why do maintainers miss
such a patch?

If I have any misunderstanding, please let me know.
