No, they're not synonymous. Patriotism was defined long ago when every nation was an ipso facto ethnostate because mass migration was not possible.
Today, Patriotism is loyalty to a government and its laws. A Nationalist is loyalty to the ethnic people who populate the nation. As a nation becomes more multi-ethnic, you'll start seeing more conflict between Nationalists and "Patriots."
Imagine a scenario where, in America, all the white people start migrating out of the country and non-whites migrate in. Nothing else changes. Same laws, same treaties, same borders, same States etc. After a while, no one living in America is descended from someone who founded the nation. Is it really still America? A patriot would say yes. A Nationalist would say no.

Well if we use the definition that nationalist = ethno nationalist then you are correct, by definition.
