2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Steven Robertson <steven(a)strobe.cc>

commit 33d973ad88ceb83ed1449592b7574b5b5bb33ac6 upstream.

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.
