Xenial update: v4.4.245 upstream stable release

[Kamal Mostafa]

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 a mainline/stable Linux tree or
       a minimally backported form of that patch. The following upstream
       stable patches should be included in the Ubuntu kernel:

       v4.4.245 upstream stable release
       from git://git.kernel.org/

i2c: imx: Fix external abort on interrupt in exit paths
xfs: catch inode allocation state mismatch corruption
xfs: validate cached inodes are free when allocated
powerpc/8xx: Always fault when _PAGE_ACCESSED is not set
Input: sunkbd - avoid use-after-free in teardown paths
mac80211: always wind down STA state
KVM: x86: clflushopt should be treated as a no-op by emulation
Linux 4.4.245
