3.19.8-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 3ea79249e81e5ed051f2e6480cbde896d99046e8 upstream.

Upon TUNSETSNDBUF,  macvtap reads the requested sndbuf size into
a local variable u.
commit 39ec7de7092b ("macvtap: fix uninitialized access on
TUNSETIFF") changed its type to u16 (which is the right thing to
do for all other macvtap ioctls), breaking all values > 64k.

The value of TUNSETSNDBUF is actually a signed 32 bit integer, so
the right thing to do is to read it into an int.
