3.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Kees Cook <keesc...@chromium.org> commit 12176503366885edd542389eed3aaf94be163fdb upstream. The compat ioctl for VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE was missing an error check while converting ioctl arguments. This could lead to leaking kernel stack contents into userspace. Patch extracted from existing fix in grsecurity.
