Thank you! I confirmed that the added distro-patches match the upstream patches. The feature looks useful, but it's not very common to backport new features as part of an SRU... So I'll leave that decision to the SRU team.
In either way, this should probably first be fixed in the current "devel" series, i.e. by merging iproute2 v6.4+ from Debian unstable. Once that is accomplished, we can consider this patch for SRU. Would you be interested in working on that merge?
Nitpick: When aiming for SRU, you should consider updating the SRU template in the bug description to the latest version (although, the one you used might also be accepted as-is) and also change the version number according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update_the_packaging, e.g.: 6.1.0-1ubuntu2.1
