[Lucid][pull request] Update to 2.6.32.17

[Brad Figg]

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615548

The 2.6.32.17 stable kernel has bee recently released.

   http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.32.17
   http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.32.17.bz2

The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process. e.g: each patch demonstrably
fixes a bug and is vetted by upstream either by originating
directly from Linus' tree or by being minimally backported from
some patch in Linus' tree.


TEST CASE: TBD

The following upstream stable patches were skipped due to having been previously applied as a CVE:
  * ecryptfs: Bugfix for error related to ecryptfs_hash_buckets

The following upstream stable patches were skipped due to non trivial revert issues:
  * igb: change how we handle alternate mac addresses

The following commits have been replaced by upstream stable patches, and have been reverted:
  * drm/radeon/kms: add quirk for ASUS HD 3600 board
  * (pre-stable) drm/i915: make sure eDP panel is turned on
  * (pre-stable) drm/i915: make sure we shut off the panel in eDP configs
  * (pre-stable) drm/i915: add PANEL_UNLOCK_REGS definition
  * (pre-stable) drm/i915: Make G4X-style PLL search more permissive
  * ext4: don't return to userspace after freezing the fs with a mutex held

  * ext4: explicitly remove inode from orphan list after failed direct io
  * ext4: Handle non empty on-disk orphan link
  * ext4: make "offset" consistent in ext4_check_dir_entry()
  * ext4: Fix insertion point of extent in mext_insert_across_blocks()
  * ext4: Fix the NULL reference in double_down_write_data_sem()
  * ext4: Code cleanup for EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl
  * ext4: Fix estimate of # of blocks needed to write indirect-mapped files

  * ext4: Fix possible lost inode write in no journal mode
  * ext4: Fix buffer head leaks after calls to ext4_get_inode_loc()
  * ext4: Issue the discard operation *before* releasing the blocks to be reused
  * ext4: check missed return value in ext4_sync_file()

  * ext4: allow defrag (EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT) in 32bit compat mode
  * ext4: fix quota accounting in case of fallocate
  * ext4: check s_log_groups_per_flex in online resize code
