Use CVE-2015-8543 for the originally identified bug. We realize that,
for example,
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/net/ipv4/af_inet.c
has not yet been changed. If Linux kernel developers determine that
multiple independent bugs result in situations where
sk->sk_prot->get_port is NULL above, then it is possible that
additional CVE IDs will be assigned later.
