I don't think it's a good idea to start backporting random commits to random.c that weren't marked for stable. There were a lot of changes in v5.18, and sometimes they relate to each other in subtle ways, so the individual commits aren't necessarily safe to pick.
IMO, you shouldn't backport any non-stable-Cc'ed commits to random.c unless Jason explicitly reviews the exact sequence of commits that you're backporting.
