3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Hurley <pe...@hurleysoftware.com>
commit e1082f45f1e2bbf6e25f6b614fc6616ebf709d19 upstream.
If the src msg is > 4k, then dest->next points to the
next allocated segment; resetting it just prior to dereferencing
is bad.
