Ah, I see the patch was added to -mm on 2017-12-12 but removed two days later:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg129685.html
https://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg129696.html

So it was in linux-next temporarily (including the kernel version used for this
particular bug report) but now it's not.  Just keep an eye out for it coming
back, I guess.
