Subject: [ 057/135] atm: fix info leak in getsockopt(SO_ATMPVC)

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

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

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

[ Upstream commit e862f1a9b7df4e8196ebec45ac62295138aa3fc2 ]

The ATM code fails to initialize the two padding bytes of struct
sockaddr_atmpvc inserted for alignment. Add an explicit memset(0)
before filling the structure to avoid the info leak.
