This a good fix, and better than my earlier attempt at fixing this.

Applied, but this patch was generated against a very old tree,
one before the q->net->nqueues stuff was added.

I sorted out the conflicts but someone needs to double-check
my work.

All right. Sorry, my patch is against 3.9

Seems like this bug allows to crash kernel remotely.
Should I send it to stable@ for including into 3.9.y or
you already have a bunch of patches for it?
