Use vfat instead of msdos. Then you will get your long names.

Files are still OK. Only names are different - you may change them using "mv"
command, if you remember original names.

In which directory did you run the patch command ?
You should do it in the directory where linux  subdirectory is (typically
/usr/src) . Usually patch is run with "-p0" switch.
cd /usr/src
patch -p0 < /your.patch.file
