it is a new kerne version and not only a bugfix release

you are *not* following the instructions because they are clearly contain these
two curl-commands downloading the patches, if you follwed the first step
"cd /tmp" to the /tmp directory and the full path is referred by the next steps

curl -O http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/vmware-patch/vmblock-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
curl -O http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/vmware-patch/vmnet-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
