Subject: [PATCH 3.16 119/136] RDS: Heap OOB write in rds_message_alloc_sgs()

3.16.54-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Mohamed Ghannam <simo.ghannam@...il.com>

commit c095508770aebf1b9218e77026e48345d719b17c upstream.

When args->nr_local is 0, nr_pages gets also 0 due some size
calculation via rds_rm_size(), which is later used to allocate
pages for DMA, this bug produces a heap Out-Of-Bound write access
to a specific memory region.
