I just found that this depends on another commit which is not in
kernel versions earlier than v6.1:
a7c01fa93aeb ("signal: break out of wait loops on kthread_stop()")

With the current Fixes tag, this commit will be backported to v5.15
automatically. But without said commit, kthread_stop() cannot wake up
a blocking kernel_accept().
Should I change the Fixes tag, or inform linux-stable not to backport
this patch to v5.15?
