Subject: [PATCH] SCSI, SAS, MPT: memset all of struct sas_identify, not just
 size of a pointer bytes

I have a hard time believing that the intention of this code in 
drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_transport.c
    static int
    _transport_set_identify(struct MPT2SAS_ADAPTER *ioc, u16 handle,
        struct sas_identify *identify)
    {
    ...
    	memset(identify, 0, sizeof(identify));
    ...
really is to just memset() the first few bytes (size of the pointer) of 
the struct.

I believe what is intended is to memset() the entire struct.
