Subject[75/82] net: add a recursion limit in xmit path
2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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


From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commits 745e20f1b626b1be4b100af5d4bf7b3439392f8f and
11a766ce915fc9f8663714eac6d59239388534ea ]

As tunnel devices are going to be lockless, we need to make sure a
misconfigured machine wont enter an infinite loop.

Add a percpu variable, and limit to three the number of stacked xmits.
