Before the patch, rnp->gpnum is always zero, so preempted tasks are always enqueued on rnp->blocked_tasks[0], which is correct only when the current CPU has not checked into the current grace period and the grace-period number is even, or, similarly, if the current CPU -has- checked into the current grace period and the grace-period number is odd.
