Because the first patch modifies the struct public_key and removes the MPIs 
from it,
which the code modified in the second patch still uses. If bisect only takes 
the first
then the build will fail on the security/integrity/digsig_asymmetric.c as 
reported by
kbuild test robot:

     pks.nr_mpi = 1;
