Sasha,
This is a fix for a new feature that was queued for and is now added to 6.19. So backporting this to stable and LTS kernels is not advisable.

I can drop it. It was picked up because the Fixes tag pointed to an older commit:
Fixes: a6aa36e957a1 ("block: Remove zone write plugs when handling native zone append writes")

Understood. This backport will not cause any issue even if you keep it. But it is not necessary either.
