3.11.10.2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes at stressinduktion.org>
commit 68c6beb373955da0886d8f4f5995b3922ceda4be upstream.
In that case it is probable that kernel code overwrote part of the
stack. So we should bail out loudly here.
The BUG_ON may be removed in future if we are sure all protocols are
conformant.
