Please help me check if the following is correct:

Any tree which includes df133f3f9625 ("virtio_net: bulk free tx skbs") 
should also include your patch, since it fixes stuff in there.

The fact that the warning was only made visible in 
bdacf3e34945 ("net: Use nested-BH locking for napi_alloc_cache.")
does not change the fact that it was already present before.

Also, having bdacf3e34945 is not necessary for the backport, since
it only made the bug visible.

Are above statements right?

That is exactly correct.

The bug was introduced by df133f3f9625 ("virtio_net: bulk free tx
skbs"), but it was not visible until bdacf3e34945 ("net: Use nested-BH
locking for napi_alloc_cache.") landed.

You don't need bdacf3e34945 ("net: Use nested-BH locking for
napi_alloc_cache.") patch backported if you don't want to.

I hope it helps,
