This is the commit id from the stable-rt tree for the v5.15 series.
The original commit was af9a3b69e84be ("mm/memcg: opencode the inner
part of obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() in drain_obj_stock()").

I would prefer a proper backport similar to the commit you mentioned.
This would include keeping the author ship and so on.
The change itself looks okay.
