Subject: Commit missing in stable kernels: KVM: Fix stack-out-of-bounds read
 in write_mmio

Hi Greg,

commit e39d200fa "KVM: Fix stack-out-of-bounds read in write_mmio"
is upstream in latest 4.15-rc tags, is also in long term
3.16.52+ and 3.2.97+ stable kernels, and in latest Fedora kernels,
but is missing from 4.14, 4.9, 4.4, 4.1 stable branches.

I think the patch author missed the CC to stable@...r.kernel.org

It might be good to consider picking it up into the stable kernels
to ensure long term stable and distro kernels don't diverge too much
from more recent stable kernel branches.

Thanks,

Mathieu
