The author of the patches, Aditya Pakki, is a second year PHD student as per his website https://adityapakki.github.io/about/

He himself is to blame for submitting these kind of patches and claiming innocence. If a person as old as him can't figure out what's ethical and what's not, then that person deserves what comes out of actions like these.

This is Aditya Pakki's webiste:

https://adityapakki.github.io/

In this "About" page:

https://adityapakki.github.io/about/

he claims "Hi there! My name is Aditya and I’m a second year Ph.D student in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Minnesota. My research interests are in the areas of computer security, operating systems, and machine learning. I’m fortunate to be advised by Prof. Kangjie Lu."

so he in no uncertain terms is claiming that he is being advised in his research by Kangjie Lu. So it's incorrect to say his patches have nothing to do with the paper.
