Also applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.

I noticed in these two cases that that min_t() adjustment of 'ret'
seems strange.  I can't understand why it's needed.

If, for example, tun_do_read() really did read more than 'len'
bytes:

1) That would write past the end of the buffer.

2) Writing a different value to the ->ki_pos would mean
   that ->ki_pos is now inaccurate.

Unless someone can explain why the min_t() is needed, we should remove
it.
