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

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

From: Annie Cherkaev <annie.cherk@gmail.com>

commit 9f5af546e6acc30f075828cb58c7f09665033967 upstream.

This fixes a potential buffer overflow in isdn_net.c caused by an
unbounded strcpy.

[ ISDN seems to be effectively unmaintained, and the I4L driver in
  particular is long deprecated, but in case somebody uses this..
    - Linus ]
