In all likelihood, it'll run just fine.

Skimming through subject lines of 190 commits being reverted here, every single one of them is along the lines of "add refcount/NULL/etc check and conditionally do (or do not) de-allocate memory before error-path return". I.e. worst case - this will reintroduce some rare memory leak or memory lifecycle bug.

Also, all of patches in question are in drivers. So depending on hardware used, any given system's user is likely to only have to worry about 2-3, maybe 5 of the patches, not all 190.
