You need to add a "cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" line to the signed-off-by: area. I'll do it to the patch when I apply it.
I found the problem, your email client stripped out the trailing spaces of the patch, which kept it from being applied as it wasn't a valid patch. I've edited it by hand this time, but next time please fix your email client.
