I think it is fine as it is, your patch looks like it is different
from the code snippets in the bug report so the copyright is yours.
The copyright issue I mentioned was that glibc requires assignment of
copyright on "significant changes" (see point 8 on
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist), however
the link that Ondřej posted defines a "significant change" as 15 lines
or more so your change should be fine without any of this extra
paperwork.
