Look at the changelog of the kernel package ("apt changelog" or
similar).  The changelog for 5.0.0-32 has

  - ceph: use ceph_evict_inode to cleanup inode's resource

You want see something along the lines of

  - Revert "ceph: use ceph_evict_inode to cleanup inode's resource"
  - ceph: use ceph_evict_inode to cleanup inode's resource

The first line is a revert of the incorrect backport and the second
line is the correct backport.  Having the correct backport in place
isn't strictly necessary, so as long as you see a revert it should
work fine.

Anything based on 5.3 should be fine -- this is the kernel the original
patch went into.  The problem is how the original patch was backported,
not that patch itself.

Thanks,
