Your patch is corrupted:

This hunk has an incorrect header, the hunk header states that
both before and after the change there should be 7 lines in the
code block, but there are 8.

One way this can happen is if you edit the patch in emacs since
it has a patch editing mode which kicks which tries to "fix up"
the hunk headers, but most of the time it actually corrupts them.
