yes, this part is broken, patch is misapplied to wrong function...
it applies only for for dm_get_from_kobject(), not dm_blk_open()

The patch

  4d89b7b4e4726893453d0fb4ddbb5b3e16353994 
  Do not process sysfs attributes when device is being destroyed.

is not needed for 2.6.27 (dm sysfs attributes are not there yet)
