The allegation being made on the mailing list is that some incorrect patches of theirs made it into git and even the stable trees. As there is not presently an enumeration of them, or which ones are alleged to be incorrect, I cannot state whether this is true.

But that's the claim.

edit: And looking at [1], they have a bunch of relatively tiny patches to a lot of subsystems, so depending on how narrowly gregkh means "rip it all out", this may be a big diff.

edit 2: On rereading [2], I may have been incorrectly conflating the assertion about "patches containing deliberate bugs" with "patches that have been committed". Though if they're ripping everything out anyway, it appears they aren't drawing a distinction either...
