Subject: [PATCH 4.17 160/220] um: Fix initialization of vector queues

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

From: Anton Ivanov <anton.ivanov@...bridgegreys.com>

commit 4579a1ba692af81da7ea6ce197f8169ddc0c327f upstream.

UML vector drivers could derefence uninitialized memory
when cleaning up after a queue allocation failure.
