Oh, apologies for not using unambigious phrasing.

I mean, it seems the autoselection only found 92e222df7b in places where
it's actually called 92e222df7b, and not where it was cherry-picked.

So, for my own understanding: If I have to do something like this ever
again, then should I have added it like this inside baf92114c?

Fixes: 92e222df7b ("btrfs: alloc_chunk: fix DUP stripe size handling")
Fixes: 0136bd7238 ("btrfs: alloc_chunk: fix DUP stripe size handling")
Fixes: 8890bae03f ("btrfs: alloc_chunk: fix DUP stripe size handling")
Fixes: 97c3e46ef5 ("btrfs: alloc_chunk: fix DUP stripe size handling")
Fixes: f68f46284a ("btrfs: alloc_chunk: fix DUP stripe size handling")

Thanks for your patience, :)
