Title:
  Trusty update to 3.16.7-ckt27 stable release

Status in linux-lts-utopic package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in linux-lts-utopic source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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 a mainline/stable Linux tree or
         a minimally backported form of that patch. The 3.16.7-ckt27 upstream stable
         patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
         kernel as well.

         git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux.git

      TEST CASE: TBD

         The following patches from the 3.16.7-ckt27 stable release
  shall be applied:

  ipv4: Don't do expensive useless work during inetdev destroy.
  Input: powermate - fix oops with malicious USB descriptors
  USB: iowarrior: fix oops with malicious USB descriptors
  ALSA: usb-audio: Fix NULL dereference in create_fixed_stream_quirk()
  ALSA: usb-audio: Add sanity checks for endpoint accesses
  include/linux/poison.h: fix LIST_POISON{1,2} offset
  cpu: Defer smpboot kthread unparking until CPU known to scheduler
  ipr: Fix out-of-bounds null overwrite
  ipr: Fix regression when loading firmware
  Input: ati_remote2 - fix crashes on detecting device with invalid descriptor
  USB: cdc-acm: more sanity checking
  ceph: fix request time stamp encoding
  cpu: Provide smpboot_thread_init() on !CONFIG_SMP kernels as well
  x86/iopl/64: Properly context-switch IOPL on Xen PV
  staging: comedi: ni_tiocmd: change mistaken use of start_src for start_arg
  drm/radeon: hold reference to fences in radeon_sa_bo_new (3.17 and older)
