Subject: [PATCH] net: vmxnet: use g_new for pkt initialisation

When network 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.
