It sounds like you have picked individual commits.
But you don't mention commit 05d43ed8a, which is also a required part of
the series.
So you _should_ have a combination of
- 221af7f87 ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions")
- 05d43ed8a ("x86: get rid of the insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit")
- 7ab02af42 ("Fix 'flush_old_exec()/setup_new_exec()' split")
(and there are also additional sparc/ppc versions of that TIF_ABI_PENDING
bit removal, but they shouldn't matter on your system)
