No, post to stable when the patch goes into Linus's tree as that is a
requirement.

To do so automatically, just add:
	CC: stable <stable@kernel.org>
in the signed-off-by: area of the patch and we will be automatically
notified when it goes into Linus's tree and will pick it up then, no
extra work for you at all (and much easier for the stable-team as well.)
