I'm not sure what original bug you are claiming this is fixing? Perhaps this?

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/6852b77e.a70a0220.79d0a.0214.GAE@google.com/

If so, the fix for that was squashed into the original patch before it was
merged upstream. That is now Commit 38b0ece6d763 ("mm/filemap: allow arch to
request folio size for exec memory").

Thanks,
Ryan
