Subject: [PATCH 3.16 228/328] ALSA: emu10k1: fix possible info leak to
 userspace on SNDRV_EMU10K1_IOCTL_INFO

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

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

From: Willy Tarreau <w@....eu>

commit 49434c6c575d2008c0abbc93e615019f39e01252 upstream.

snd_emu10k1_fx8010_ioctl(SNDRV_EMU10K1_IOCTL_INFO) allocates
memory using kmalloc() and partially fills it by calling
snd_emu10k1_fx8010_info() before returning the resulting
structure to userspace, leaving uninitialized holes. Let's
just use kzalloc() here.
