RT tree also has such patch, with IMHO more thorough description:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git/tree/patches/0002-mm-slub-Make-object_map_lock-a-raw_spinlock_t.patch?h=linux-5.12.y-rt-patches

I was planning to include that in the next version of my series as that
will indeed be necessary.
