[PATCH 3.18 18/68] netpoll: Check for skb->queue_mapping

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit c70b17b775edb21280e9de7531acf6db3b365274 ]

Reducing real_num_tx_queues needs to be in sync with skb queue_mapping
otherwise skbs with queue_mapping greater than real_num_tx_queues
can be sent to the underlying driver and can result in kernel panic.

One such event is running netconsole and enabling VF on the same
device. Or running netconsole and changing number of tx queues via
ethtool on same device.

e.g.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->context = 0000000000001525
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->pgd = fff800130ff9a000
