[PATCH 0/1][SRU][D/Unstable] CVE-2018-16880 - vhost_net out-of-bounds write

 A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handle_rx() function in the [vhost_net]
 driver. A malicious virtual guest, under specific conditions, can trigger an
 out-of-bounds write in a kmalloc-8 slab on a virtual host which may lead to a
 kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw,
 privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out. Versions from v4.16 and newer
 are vulnerable.

This is a clean cherry pick to Disco and Unstable. I've ensured that there are
no new build warnings and smoke tested this patch by boot testing in a VM.
