Public bug reported:

SRU Justification

    Impact:
       The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
       in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
       demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
       by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally
       backported form of that patch. The 3.19.6 upstream stable
       patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
       kernel as well.

       git://git.kernel.org/

    TEST CASE: TBD

       The following patches are in the 3.19.6 stable release:
             Linux 3.19.6
             fs: take i_mutex during prepare_binprm for set[ug]id executables
             rtlwifi: rtl8192ee: Fix handling of new style descriptors
             mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd()
             mm/hugetlb: reduce arch dependent code around follow_huge_*
             staging: comedi: adv_pci1710: fix AI INSN_READ for non-zero channel
             KVM: nVMX: mask unrestricted_guest if disabled on L0
             tg3: Hold tp->lock before calling tg3_halt() from tg3_init_one()
             usbnet: Fix tx_bytes statistic running backward in cdc_ncm
             usbnet: Fix tx_packets stat for FLAG_MULTI_FRAME drivers
             udptunnels: Call handle_offloads after inserting vlan tag.
             skbuff: Do not scrub skb mark within the same name space
             Revert "net: Reset secmark when scrubbing packet"
             bpf: fix verifier memory corruption
             bnx2x: Fix busy_poll vs netpoll
             tcp: tcp_make_synack() should clear skb->tstamp
             net/mlx4_core: Fix error message deprecation for ConnectX-2 cards
             ipv6: protect skb->sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack
             tcp: fix FRTO undo on cumulative ACK of SACKed range
             xen-netfront: transmit fully GSO-sized packets
             openvswitch: Return vport module ref before destruction
             bonding: Bonding Overriding Configuration logic restored.
             net: tcp6: fix double call of tcp_v6_fill_cb()
             tun: return proper error code from tun_do_read
             ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface
             net/mlx4_en: Call register_netdevice in the proper location
             rocker: handle non-bridge master change
             tcp: prevent fetching dst twice in early demux code
