Subject: [ 063/135] Bluetooth: RFCOMM - Fix info leak via getsockname()

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

[ Upstream commit 9344a972961d1a6d2c04d9008b13617bcb6ec2ef ]

The RFCOMM code fails to initialize the trailing padding byte of struct
sockaddr_rc added for alignment. It that for leaks one byte kernel stack
via the getsockname() syscall. Add an explicit memset(0) before filling
the structure to avoid the info leak.
