This sha is linux-next specific. This means it is unstable and shouldn't
be referred to in a commit message. The patch you are fixing is sitting
in the Andrew's tree as
mm-fix-vm-scalability-regression-in-cgroup-aware-workingset-code.patch

I guess it can be just folded into the above patch.

Yes that seems to be really the case. I have just run it through my
compile testing scripts and it works fine. Unfortunatelly my all arch
cross build test doesn't include hexagon.
