3.16.7-ckt1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet at google.com>
commit fe0ca7328d03d36aafecebb3af650e1bb2841c20 upstream.
We need to cancel the work queue after rcu grace period,
otherwise it can be rescheduled by incoming packets.
We need to purge queue if some skbs are still in it.
We can use __skb_queue_head_init() variant in
macvlan_process_broadcast()
