Subject: [34-longterm 077/209] usb: core: fix information leak to userland

From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon@...il.com>

  =====================================================================
  | This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
  | If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
  =====================================================================

commit 886ccd4520064408ce5876cfe00554ce52ecf4a7 upstream.

Structure usbdevfs_connectinfo is copied to userland with padding byted
after "slow" field uninitialized.  It leads to leaking of contents of
kernel stack memory.
