3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
commit fe04ddf7c2910362f3817c8156e41cbd6c0ee35d upstream.
There were reports of users destroying their Fedora installs by a kernel tarball that replaces the /lib -> /usr/lib symlink. Let's remove the toplevel directories from the tarball to prevent this from happening.
