That was my guess, the repeated near identical sysfs entries is confusing patch. The stable kernels also suffer from this misapplication, but the misapplication is random, for instance I noticed here
http://www.mail-archive.com/stable@linux.kernel.org/msg07097.html
that the patch has been misapplied to suid_dumpable. It looks like all of the stable kernels need to be separately checked, and if necessary different patches need to be generated.
