Subject: [18/44] usb: core: fix information leak to userland

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

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

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

commit 886ccd4520064408ce5876cfe00554ce52ecf4a7 upstream.

Structure usbdevfs_connectinfo is copied to userland with padding byted
after "slow" field uninitialized.  It leads to leaking of contents of
kernel stack memory.
