dmesg log entry of the crash

I tried to install openSUSE 13.1 in VirtualBox on a 13.2 host (with the virtual
harddisk located on an ntfs-3g partition), and VirtualBox just froze during
installation. It hang, I couldn't quit VirtualBox, and I couldn't even access
the ntfs partition any more (had to reboot).

I tried a few times, and this happened every time: most of the time it froze
when installing some package (sometimes I even got a YaST error dialog before
the freeze), a few times it hang during partitioning already.

Attached is the kernel log entry printed by dmesg.

Searching the Internet led me to this upstream kernel bug report:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82951

This states that it is fixed in 3.17, and indeed after upgrading the kernel to
the current 3.19.0 from Kernel:stable I didn't have a problem any more.

The upstream bug report mentions two commits that should fix this:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82951#c15

Would it be possible to backport those to 13.2's 3.16.7 kernel?
