Subject: [ 12/25] fanotify: info leak in copy_event_to_user()

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit de1e0c40aceb9d5bff09c3a3b97b2f1b178af53f upstream.

The ->reserved field isn't cleared so we leak one byte of stack
information to userspace.
