[Qemu-stable] [PATCH for v2.6.0] net: vmxnet: use g_new for pkt initialisation

[P J P]

From: Li Qiang <address@hidden>

When vmxnet transport abstraction layer initialises pkt,
the maximum fragmentation count is not checked. This could lead
to an integer overflow causing a NULL pointer dereference.
Replace g_malloc() with g_new() to catch the multiplication
overflow.
