Subject: [ 047/102] Bluetooth: ath3k: dont use stack memory for DMA

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

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

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@...hat.com>

commit 517828a87994f41af6ae5a0f96f0f069f05baa81 upstream.

Memory allocated by vmalloc (including stack) can not be used for DMA,
i.e. data pointer on usb_control_msg() should not point to stack memory.
