Subject: CVE request: kernel: inet_diag: fix inet_diag_bc_audit()

[PATCH] inet_diag: fix inet_diag_bc_audit()

A malicious user or buggy application can inject code and trigger an
infinite loop in inet_diag_bc_audit()

Also make sure each instruction is aligned on 4 bytes boundary, to avoid
unaligned accesses.
