3.16.7-ckt21 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter at oracle.com>

commit 50010c20597d14667eff0fdb628309986f195230 upstream.

This is decrementing the pointer, instead of the value stored in the
pointer.  KASan detects it as an out of bounds reference.
