Subject: [PATCH 3/8] staging: dream: fix information leak to userland

Structure msm_audio_stats is copied to userland with some fields unitialized.
It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
Also struct msm_audio_config has field "unused" of type array of 3 elements,
not 4.  Instead of this, initialize field "type".
