according to this (good) blog post the disclosure to the linux kernel security team was already like a month ago so i would imagine the fix is already on a lot of systems

If your system is up-to-date, your kernel has probably already been patched. The patch was added to mainline on April 1, and I think every major distribution will have added it by now.
