3.16.7-ckt15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Haggai Eran <haggai.eran at gmail.com>

commit cab462140f8a183e3cca0b51c8b59ef715cb6148 upstream.

With an RTL8191SU USB adaptor, sometimes the hints for a fragmented
packet are set, but the packet length is too large. Allocate enough
space to prevent memory corruption and a resulting kernel panic [1].
