Subject: [ 058/135] atm: 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 3c0c5cfdcd4d69ffc4b9c0907cec99039f30a50a ]

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.
