I really can't see any relation to the patch.  Can you try the some
things in the following order, please:

 (1) git-revert 365b18189789bfa1acd9939e6312b8a4b4577b28 on current
     Linus tree and see it it works.
     If it works try the next, else the bisect must have been a weird
     conicidence and I can't really help more.
 (2) re-apply only the changes to include/asm-generic/statfs.h from
     365b18189789bfa1acd9939e6312b8a4b4577b28 and see if that still
     boots.
 (3) re-apply the arch/mips/include/asm/statfs.h and
     arch/s390/include/asm/statfs.h changes and see if it still boots
 (4) re-apply the include/linux/statfs.h changes and see if it still
      boots
 (5) re-apply the fs/statfs.c changes, and by now it really shouldn't
     boot anymore
 (6) verify the code really is the same again as in current Linus' tree
