Subject: "tipc: fix socket timer deadlock" to stable?

Hello,

We're seeing this tipc deadlock in 4.4.y, that was fixed in the mainline 
commit f1d048f24e66ba85d3dabf3d076cefa5f2b546b0 "tipc: fix socket timer 
deadlock".

Could/should this patch also be included in the stable kernel trees?

I just checked that the patch applies on top of 4.4.53, only the line 
numbers are different compared to the upstream commit.
