The full fix for CVE-2016-3951 is composed by two commits:

 4d06dd537f95 ("cdc_ncm: do not call usbnet_link_change from cdc_ncm_bind")
 1666984c8625 ("usbnet: cleanup after bind() in probe()")

The first one is already applied to all the relevant kernel trees (except
xenial) as it was tagged for stable.  The 2nd fix follows this email and
is a clean cherry-pick.

(xenial fix will be sent separately.)
