You take your patch, apply it to the stable trees here:

https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html

and send the applied and tested version it to <stable@xxxxxxxxxx>.

I.e., you backport it yourself. :)

Do git-log on those branches to see how stable backports are annotated. It
needs to say:

"Commit <sha1> upstream."

at the top.

There's also Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst

HTH.
