Subject: [PATCH net-next 02/16] net/compat: Fix minor information leak in
 siocdevprivate_ioctl()

We don't need to check that ifr_data itself is a valid user pointer,
but we should check &ifr_data is.  Thankfully the copy of ifr_name is
checked, so this can only leak a few bytes from immediately above the
user address limit.

This might deserve to go into net instead.  Not sure.
