Subject: [202/289] usb: misc: iowarrior: fix information leak to userland

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon@...il.com>

commit eca67aaeebd6e5d22b0d991af1dd0424dc703bfb upstream.

Structure iowarrior_info is copied to userland with padding byted
between "serial" and "revision" fields uninitialized.  It leads to
leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
