Oneiric update to 3.0.38 stable release

[Herton R. Krzesinski]

SRU Justification

    Impact:
       The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
       in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
       demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
       by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally
       backported form of that patch. The 3.0.38 upstream stable
       patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
       kernel as well.

       git://git.kernel.org/

    TEST CASE: TBD

       The following patches are in the 3.0.38 stable release:

hwmon: (it87) Preserve configuration register bits on init
block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow
media: dvb-core: Release semaphore on error path dvb_register_device()
mtd: nandsim: don't open code a do_div helper
ARM: SAMSUNG: fix race in s3c_adc_start for ADC
intel_ips: blacklist HP ProBook laptops

e1000e: Correct link check logic for 82571 serdes
Input: xpad - add Andamiro Pump It Up pad
tcp: drop SYN+FIN messages
cfg80211: check iface combinations only when iface is running
ntp: Fix leap-second hrtimer livelock
ntp: Correct TAI offset during leap second
timekeeping: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC inconsistency during leapsecond
time: Move common updates to a function
hrtimer: Provide clock_was_set_delayed()
timekeeping: Fix leapsecond triggered load spike issue
timekeeping: Maintain ktime_t based offsets for hrtimers
