I may be wrong and then the stable kernel maintainers might correct me,
but there's been some consensus established in at least recent stable
patches workflow that if the backport version of the upstream commit is
incorrect or, in this particular case, incomplete - the corresponding
patches should be reverted from the affected stable branches and ported
properly once again. That would make it easier to follow in future.
See [1] or [2] for reference.

P.S: consider porting 1c7eec4d5f3b ("RDMA/rxe: Fix "trying to register
non-static key in rxe_qp_do_cleanup" bug") as well to 6.1/6.6 and other
relevant stables (if tinkering with this code anyway) ?
Thanks.
