The change was in [the 24u commit](https://git.openjdk.org/jdk24u/commit/81252ef76899ad95197550a11c2786ccf3cf0cd2) which was applied later than the 21u one.

This is identical to the backport to 21. 
The edited file lives in a different directory, therefore this is not a clean backport.
I second that this goes to jdk17u.
