Patches must make it to the current development kernel before they're 
eligible for stable.  Additionally, they need to be cced to stable as 
well, in ordered to be queued there.

So check 4.5 and 4.6-rc.  If it's in neither of those, it's not going to 
be in stable yet.  Once it's in the development kernel, see if it was cced 
to stable and if needed, ask the author and btrfs devs to cc it to stable.

Tho sometimes stable can get a backlog as well.  I know earlier this year 
they were dealing with one, but I follow release or development, not 
stable, and don't know what stable's current status is.

If it gets to stable, and it wasn't for a bug introduced /after/ 4.4, it 
should eventually get into 4.4, as that's an LTS kernel.  But it might 
take awhile, as the above discussion hints.
