Subject: [06/15] relay: prevent integer overflow in relay_open()

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit f6302f1bcd75a042df69866d98b8d775a668f8f1 upstream.

"subbuf_size" and "n_subbufs" come from the user and they need to be
capped to prevent an integer overflow.
