Subject: [PATCH 4/7] xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_user_offload()

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

The memory reserved to dump the xfrm offload state includes padding
bytes of struct xfrm_user_offload added by the compiler for alignment.
Add an explicit memset(0) before filling the buffer to avoid the heap
info leak.
