I've just tested your patch in Firefox with Firebug addon. It looks
solid and it works for me. As you said when the _token id is removed, it
is no longer possible to download the image now.

I also think that it is safe to mark CVE-2016-4068 as fixed since SVG
files are not displayed anymore hence the attack vector is void. It is
probably not very reasonable to invest more time into creating a perfect
solution, if the current one works acceptably well.
