Subject: [PATCH 3.2 92/94] rds: fix an infoleak in rds_inc_info_copy

3.2.82-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Kangjie Lu <kangjielu@...il.com>

commit 4116def2337991b39919f3b448326e21c40e0dbb upstream.

The last field "flags" of object "minfo" is not initialized.
Copying this object out may leak kernel stack data.
Assign 0 to it to avoid leak.
