Hello Thomas, thank you!
Was also my impression that a backport is probably best.
And the backport applies cleanly on jammy master-next (so yes, that is what we 
have to use for the next and upcoming kernel of an Ubuntu release).
Proceeding now with the kernel SRU ...

Bug description:
  Description:   kernel: s390/cpum_cf: make crypto counters upward
  compatible

  Symptom:       The CPU Measurement facility crypto counter set is not
                 listed in the device sysfs tree.  

  Problem:       The CPU Measurement facility crypto counter set is not
                 exported in the sysfs directory
                 /sys/devices/cpum_cf/events.
                 The attribute files for each CPU-MF counter defined
                 in the crypto counter set is missing. This is caused
                 by the counter second version number of the CPU
                 Measurement Facility hardware being incremented on
                 new machines.  This causes a sanity check to fail,
                 but the counters are supported by hardware.

  Solution:      Remove upper limit in counter second version number
                 check.

  Reproduction:  Run command on a new machine generation:
                  # ls -l /sys/devices/cpum_cf/events/ | grep AES
                  # 
                 If the output is empty than this patch is required.
                 The output should be:
                  # ls  /sys/devices/cpum_cf/events/ | grep AES
                  AES_BLOCKED_CYCLES
                  AES_BLOCKED_FUNCTIONS
                  AES_CYCLES
                  AES_FUNCTIONS
                  #

  Upstream-ID of fix:   f10933cbd2dfddf6273698a45f76db9bafd8150f
