Subject: CVE-2009-1265 kernel: af_rose/x25: Sanity check the maximum user
 frame size

{nr,rose,x25}_sendmsg() functions need to have sanity checks on the
packet size, otherwise the sizes can wrap and end up sending garbage.

This affects both 2.4.x and 2.6.x if CONFIG_{NETROM,ROSE,X25} are enabled.

Thanks, Eugene
