[PATCH] gnu: qemu: Patch CVE-2016-8910.

One of the email address was hidden on the list I got this patch from.
I don't know whether that's a potential problem.

+From: Prasad J Pandit <ppan...@redhat.com>
+
+RTL8139 ethernet controller in C+ mode supports multiple
+descriptor rings, each with maximum of 64 descriptors. While
+processing transmit descriptor ring in 'rtl8139_cplus_transmit',
+it does not limit the descriptor count and runs forever. Add
+check to avoid it.
