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

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

From: Ashutosh Dixit <ashutosh.dixit@intel.com>

commit 9bf292bfca94694a721449e3fd752493856710f6 upstream.

The MIC VOP driver does two successive reads from user space to read a
variable length data structure. Kernel memory corruption can result if
the data structure changes between the two reads. This patch disallows
the chance of this happening.
