Subject: [ 062/135] Bluetooth: RFCOMM - Fix info leak in  ioctl(RFCOMMGETDEVLIST)

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

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

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

[ Upstream commit f9432c5ec8b1e9a09b9b0e5569e3c73db8de432a ]

The RFCOMM code fails to initialize the two padding bytes of struct
rfcomm_dev_list_req inserted for alignment before copying it to
userland. Additionally there are two padding bytes in each instance of
struct rfcomm_dev_info. The ioctl() that for disclosures two bytes plus
dev_num times two bytes uninitialized kernel heap memory.

Allocate the memory using kzalloc() to fix this issue.
