The changes from 2.4.21 to 2.4.26 should be relatively easy to merge.
Save yourself the heartache and just do it. As an added bonus you get a
kernel which isn't remotely exploitable.

The only way you'll get it working is if you start backporting changes
in the core VFS code from 2.4.26. 

Put 2.4.21 into CVS, update the CVS tree to 2.4.26 too. Now check out
2.4.21 and apply your own patches, having made sure there's no
gratuitous whitespace noise in your changes. Then CVS update and you
should find it's fairly easy to make it work.
