Indeed, this patch was not backported at 5.15.

I fixed it, successfully tested it on the 5.15.148 kernel and sent the 
patch [1]

However, at the time of the kernel build, I noticed a compiler warning 
about an unused "*tmp" variable,

that I fixed in the patch for 5.15, but remained in this patch 5.10:

...

+	void *new, *tmp;
...
need to fix on
...
+	void *new;
...

Therefore, I resend the patch with a fix (deleted the unused tmp 
pointer). [2]
