Subject: [122/152] RAMOOPS: Dont overflow over non-allocated regions

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Ahmed S. Darwish <darwish.07@...il.com>

commit 1873bb8115e678ad9fd0aac9dbbc68383bc36e06 upstream.

The current code mis-calculates the ramoops header size, leading to an
overflow over the next record at best, or over a non-allocated region at
worst.  Fix that calculation.
