Description:  net/af_iucv: fix skb leaks for HiperTransport
Symptom:      Memory leaks and/or double-freed network packets.
Problem:      Inbound packets may have any combination of flag bits set in
their iucv header. Current code only handles certain
combinations, and ignores (ie. leaks) all packets with other
flags.
On Transmit, current code is inconsistent about whether the error
paths need to free the skb. Depending on which error path is
taken, it may either get freed twice, or leak.
Solution:     On receive, drop any skb with an unexpected combination of iucv
Header flags.
On transmit, be consistent in all error paths about free'ing the
skb.

Bug description:
  Description:  qeth: Fix potential array overrun in cmd/rc lookup
  Symptom:      Infinite loop when processing a received cmd.
  Problem:      qeth_get_ipa_cmd_name() and qeth_get_ipa_msg() are used
                to build human-readable messages for received cmd data.

                They store the to-be translated value in the last entry of a
                global array, and then iterate over each entry until they found
                the queried value (and the corresponding message string).
                If there is no prior match, the lookup is intended to stop at
                the final entry (which was previously prepared).

                If two qeth devices are concurrently processing a received cmd,
                one lookup can over-write the last entry of the global array
                while a second lookup is in process. This second lookup will 
then
                never hit its stop-condition, and loop.

  Solution:     Remove the modification of the global array, and limit the 
number
                of iterations to the size of the array.
