1. There are hundreds of red teams out there tearing apart every kernel to see what advantage they can get. They will either figure it out when you close off a working exploit they already had or when they see the commit.
2. The vast number of linux users aren't going to be left out of the cold because there was no time window between the commit and it being know to fix a security problem. They are going to be left out because their phone company will never ship them an updated kernel... and no amount of information blackout window is going to fix that.
