3.16.7-ckt18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jason Wang <jasowang at redhat.com>

commit 48900cb6af4282fa0fb6ff4d72a81aa3dadb5c39 upstream.

virtio declares support for NETIF_F_FRAGLIST, but assumes
that there are at most MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2 fragments which isn't
always true with a fraglist.

A longer fraglist in the skb will make the call to skb_to_sgvec overflow
the sg array, leading to memory corruption.

Drop NETIF_F_FRAGLIST so we only get what we can handle.
