We can only apply new patches to the latest kernel version, not older
ones, as we can't go back in time :)
If you want a patch like this backported to older kernels, please read
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt for how to do that.

Your patch was line-wrapped and the whitespace all messed up, and can't
be applied :(
Please make the patch against the linux-next tree and resend it so that
we have a chance to apply it.
