Past experience tells me it would simply be CLOSED UPSTREAM.

My past experience is that the Fedora kernel maintainers are responsive and
helpful to an appropriate degree. Good bug reports get good responses,
vague or ambiguous ones get a response that helps clarify, problems where
other components are involved get redirected.
If a bug gets CLOSED UPSTREAM I'd say there's a very high probability that
the issue is actually under development or has already dealt with. Upstream
might have dealt with the issue in a way that's different from the approach
in your patch - that doesn't mean your bug is dismissed offhand or that
submitting your patch isn't appreciated.
