OK.  Got it:

  [PATCH <= 3.6.y] aoe: do not call bdi_init after blk_alloc_queue
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/38957

That particular change (for <= 3.6.y)  is not derived from the mainline 
commit you mention, but the other patch for 3.7.y is, and I included a 
reference to the mainline commit in the changelog message for the 
3.7.y fix.

  [PATCH 3.7.y] aoe: merge 0a41409c5180 to avoid list corruption from extra bdi_init
