3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Russell King <rmk+ker...@arm.linux.org.uk>
commit d13c46c67e546bb1dc1c4dc7c43e388d0119276b upstream.
The kfifo_put() API changed in 498d319bb512 (kfifo API type safety)
which now results in the wrong pointer being added to the kfifo ring,
which then causes an oops. Fix this.
