One of these patches is for a CVE:  CVE-2015-5697

I'm not convinced it is serious (data leak from CAP_SYS_ADMIN ioctl)
but as people seem to want to back-port it, I've included a minimal
version here.  The remainder of that patch from Benjamin is
code-cleanup and will arrive in the 4.3 merge window.
