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

------------------

From: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@citrix.com>

[ Upstream commit b42cc6e421e7bf74e545483aa34b99d2a2ca6d3a ]

When the grant operations failed, the skb is freed up eventually, and it tries
to release the frags, if there is any. For the main skb nr_frags is set to 0 to
avoid this, but on the frag_list it iterates through the frags array, and tries
to call put_page on the page pointer which contains garbage at that time.
