The howto missed to cd into the kernel source directory.
cd /path/to/wherever/the/kernel/source/is
patch -p0 /path/to/the/patch/grsecurity-VERSION.patch
A side note [1]
Than you can run ...
make oldconfig
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd kernel-image kernel-headers
... or anything else. The way you build the kernel is independent of
building the patch.

I'm not using this patch, hence I don't know it, but I'm using other
patches. Btw. I'm even not using Debian.
If needed try -p1 instead of -p0.
"-pnum or --strip=num
Strip the smallest prefix containing num leading slashes from each file
name found in the patch file. A sequence of one or more adjacent slashes
is counted as a single slash. This controls how file names found in the
patch file are treated, in case you keep your files in a different
directory than the person who sent out the patch. For example, supposing
the file name in the patch file was
/u/howard/src/blurfl/blurfl.c
setting -p0 gives the entire file name unmodified, -p1 gives
u/howard/src/blurfl/blurfl.c
without the leading slash, -p4 gives
blurfl/blurfl.c
and not specifying -p at all just gives you blurfl.c. Whatever you
end up with is looked for either in the current directory, or the
directory specified by the -d option."
