Linux Virtualization - Jan 2015 - [PATCH] vhost/net: length miscalculation

commit 8b38694a2dc8b18374310df50174f1e4376d6824
    vhost/net: virtio 1.0 byte swap
had this chunk:
-       heads[headcount - 1].len += datalen;
+       heads[headcount - 1].len = cpu_to_vhost32(vq, len - datalen);

This adds datalen with the wrong sign, causing guest panics.

Fixes: 8b38694a2dc8b18374310df50174f1e4376d6824

I pushed the patches to Linus unfortunately - there's
some urgency since many people are hitting the bug.
Will do my best to do it right next time.
