3.8.13.15 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 68c6beb373955da0886d8f4f5995b3922ceda4be ]
In that case it is probable that kernel code overwrote part of the
stack. So we should bail out loudly here.
The BUG_ON may be removed in future if we are sure all protocols are
conformant.
