The map_key value in sys.dm_xe_map_values is 155 in 2012 and 2014 RTM. After 2014 RTM, you must check the DMV to get the latest value as some map_key values have changed in later builds.
Other information:
I have heard anecdotal evidence that this latch can show up as a contention point when there a high disk latencies on the availability group secondary where the backup is being performed. Look for ASYNC_IO_COMPLETION and BACKUPIO waits occurring too, as these wait types occur when reading from a data file and writing to a backup file during a backup, respectively.
See the LATCH_EX wait type for more information about latches in general and how to troubleshoot them.
