You can cherry-pick them from git, commits:
14cb0dc6479dc5ebc63b3a459a5d89a2f1b39fed
0abc2a10389f0c9070f76ca906c7382788036b93

Also here:

If I remember correctly, these patches should apply cleanly on 4.13.x.

You probably know this already, but if not: consider upgrading
to 4.14.x or 4.15.x (both contain the patches you are interested in).
