Subject: [ 29/42] crypto: algif - suppress sending source address information in recvmsg

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mathias Krause <minipli@...glemail.com>

commit 72a763d805a48ac8c0bf48fdb510e84c12de51fe upstream.

The current code does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore
makes net/socket.c leak the local sockaddr_storage variable to userland
-- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory. Fix that.
