Subject: [PATCH] Security,FAT: fix VFAT compat ioctls on 64-bit systems (2nd
 try)

I discovered another mistake with the patch sent before. Because there are
substantial leaks from the kernel stack into user space I am Cc-ing to 
security.

If you compile and run the below test case in an msdos or vfat directory 
on an  x86-64 system with -m32 you'll get garbage in the kernel_dirent 
struct followed by a SIGSEGV. The SIGSEGV is caused by user stack corruption.

The patch below fixes this. It's a minimal patch -- I haven't converted spaces 
to tabs or added extra put_user checks.

The problems:
* when the ioctl is called at the end of the directory (signalled via
   d[0].d_reclen==0), the d[1].d_reclen field is not initialized, but it
   is used as the length for copying the long filename into user space.
   This caused, in my case, the leakage of approximately 3000 bytes of
   kernel stack data into user space.
* d_ino/d_off are undefined for de[0]. Random values from the kernel stack
   are copied from here into user space.
* d_name, for both de[0] and de[1], is not zero terminated.
* if the long filename in de[1] is empty, d_ino/d_off are also undefined
   for de[1].
