3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 837585a5375c38d40361cfe64e6fd11e1addb936 ]
When IFF_VNET_HDR is enabled, a virtio_net header must precede data.
Data length is verified to be greater than or equal to expected header
length tun->vnet_hdr_sz before copying.
Macvtap functions read the value once, but unless READ_ONCE is used,
the compiler may ignore this and read multiple times. Enforce a single
read and locally cached value to avoid updates between test and use.

[bwh: BAckported to 3.16:
- Use ACCESS_ONCE() instead of READ_ONCE()
- Adjust context]
