3.8.13.10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook at chromium.org>

commit 1e87a2456b0227ca4ab881e19a11bb99d164e792 upstream.

A HID device could send a malicious output report that would cause the
picolcd HID driver to trigger a NULL dereference during attr file writing.

[jkosina at suse.cz: changed

	report->maxfield < 1

to

	report->maxfield != 1

as suggested by Bruno].

CVE-2013-2899
