If I understand the question correctly the answer is: don't worry about
stable right now.

Add the CC: stable@.. tag, and fix the code as it is in net/main.
Once the commit reaches Linus you will get a notification from 
the stable team that the patch has reached them and either does 
or does not apply. At which point you can provide them with a patch
adjusted to what's needed in LTS kernels.
