[PATCH net-next 0/3] LiquidIO: avoid VM low memory crashes

[Felix Manlunas <felix.manlunas@cavium.com>]

From: Rick Farrington <ricardo.farrington@cavium.com>

This patchset addresses issues brought about by low memory conditions
in a VM.  These conditions were only seen when VM's were intentionally
created with small amounts of memory (for stress testing).

1. Fix GPF in octeon_init_droq(); zero the allocated block 'recv_buf_list'.
   This prevents a GPF trying to access an invalid 'recv_buf_list[i]' entry
   in octeon_droq_destroy_ring_buffers() if init didn't alloc all entries.
2. Don't dereference a NULL ptr in octeon_droq_destroy_ring_buffers().
3. For defensive programming, zero the allocated block 'oct->droq[0]' in
   octeon_setup_output_queues() and 'oct->instr_queue[0]' in    
   octeon_setup_instr_queues().
