No, it won't.

The patchset removes compile-time config option to disable 5-level paging.
After tha patchset all kernels will be built with 5-level paging *support*.

The actual paging mode is chosen at boot time based on machine
capabilities and kernel command line. Older HW will boot in 4-level paging
mode just fine.
