I can still reproduce this failure on current ToT (33e3554ea33d) on
x86_64 allmodconfig; it seems like that patch only fixes it for 32-bit
x86.

My patch appears to be accepted in Sebastian's branch already, it seems
like it just needs to be sent to Linus (it also looks like that branch
doesn't flow into -next, it probably should):
