Subject: [PATCH 1/1] drm: avoid exposing kernel stack in compat_drm_getstats

The C standard does not specify the size of the integer used
to store an enum. Hence in structure drm_stats32_t alignment
bytes may exist.

To avoid exposing bytes from the kernel stack it is
necessary to initialize variable s32 completely.
