Subject: [34-longterm 123/209] econet: disallow NULL remote addr for sendmsg(), fixes CVE-2010-3849

From: Phil Blundell <philb@....org>

  =====================================================================
  | This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
  | If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
  =====================================================================

commit fa0e846494792e722d817b9d3d625a4ef4896c96 upstream.

Later parts of econet_sendmsg() rely on saddr != NULL, so return early
with EINVAL if NULL was passed otherwise an oops may occur.
