As far as I can see, it is not trivial to apply the patch to the
current EL kernels. Hopefully Red Hat publishes the patched kernel
soon.

But if you really need to run a fixed kernel today, I suggest you
install the latest kernel-ml from ELRepo. It is version 4.8.3 and does
contain the referenced patch.
