Subject: [GIT] Networking

1) The new SR-IOV VF netlink messages had a critical error in their
   design, they were not designed to be symmetric (therefore you can't
   take a netlink message dump, and use the elements to recreate
   configurations like you can with other netlink message types).

   Cure this by using nested netlink attributes.

   Better to fix this before it appears in a released kernel.

   Fix from Chris Wright.

2) The per-cpu TCP md5 signature state was not properly softirq
   protected, leading to all kinds of corruptions.  Fix from Eric
   Dumazet.

3) SCTP transport teardown can leave a timer running, fix from Wei
   Yongjun.

Please pull, thanks!
