Pointing to linux-next and saying you based your changes on 3.17.3
is confusing, please look correctly when you provide a link ...

Again, John's commit 1f947bf151e90ec0b removed the relevant part in
cls_bpf_modify_existing() that you're trying to modify:

$ git grep -n bpf_old net/sched/cls_bpf.c
$

Therefore, this patch is not needed.

Thanks !
