Subject: drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c: resizing usbmon binary interface buffer causes protection faults
From: Steven Robertson <steven@strobe.cc>

Enlarging the buffer size via the MON_IOCT_RING_SIZE ioctl causes general
protection faults.  It appears the culprit is an incorrect argument to
mon_free_buff: instead of passing the size of the current buffer being
freed, the size of the new buffer is passed.

Use the correct size argument to mon_free_buff when changing the size of
the buffer.
