applying patch-3.10.69-vs2.3.6.9.diff to linux 3.10.83 fails in patching (in
addition to the patch failure that was previously introduced with linux
3.10.76 [1][2]).

patching file fs/file_table.c
Hunk #2 succeeded at 139 (offset -3 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 258 (offset -3 lines).
Hunk #4 FAILED at 351.
1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file fs/file_table.c.rej

upstream commit
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?h=linux-3.10.y&id=68c8a7ae
removed a source code line and invalidated the patch hunk context.

the attached patch accounts for the upstream change.

instructions:
1. acquire linux-3.10.76
2. apply patch-3.10.69-vs2.3.6.9.diff
3. manually fix the Makefile reject (EXTRAVERSION)
4. apply patch-3.10.69-76-vs2.3.6.9.diff [3]
4. apply the attached patch-3.10.69-83-vs2.3.6.9.diff

i've successfully built the resulting kernel and tested it in virtualbox
against testme.sh and testfs.sh and started-entered-exited-stopped a vserver
guest, though i encourage the community to review and test.
