3.11.10.1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit c98300a0e8cf160aaea60bc05d2cd156a7666173 upstream.
Dynamic static allocation is evil, as Kernel stack is too low, and compilation complains about it on some archs: drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/mxl111sf.c:74:1: warning: 'mxl111sf_ctrl_msg' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default] Instead, let's enforce a limit for the buffer to be the max size of a control URB payload data (64 bytes).
