Commit 5047ef5725ed ("x86/mm: Don't free P4D table when it is folded at runtime") should not be backported to v4.15 because:
1. It adds pgtable_l5_enabled which does not exist in v4.15,
2. It is marked as v4.17+
3. It is marked as fixing commit which does not exist in v4.15 and was not backported there.
