[ 262/262] vmwgfx: corruption in vmw_event_fence_action_create()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg KH <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 68c4fce737c4b963e336435f225621dc21138397 upstream.

We don't allocate enough data for this struct.  As soon as we start
modifying event->event on the next lines, then we're going beyond the
end of the memory we allocated.
