It's indeed missing the two previous patches to the writeback code that
I thought Jens sent to Linus aswell [1].  The race was initially found using
a distro kernel with the patches backported, and in the meantime we've
done a lot of testing with this patch (and the two previous that also
were backported).  I'd prefer to get this full stack that's been in
-next for a while and got large machine testing, but if Jens prefers it
I can aim for a smaller variant.  Jens, what version do you prefer?

[1] thee patches are:

 "writeback: remove writeback_inodes_wbc"	a73dd720f081cd160e3843d531eff2195036e442
 "writeback: split writeback_inodes_wb"		9f98c0faa41ae334d894762f556195c8a7fb352f
