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

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

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst at redhat.com>

We leak an skb when there are too many frags,
we also stop processing the packet in the middle,
the result is almost sure to be loss of networking.
