Subject: [PATCH 3.8 051/152] audit: fix info leak in AUDIT_GET requests

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

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

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

commit 64fbff9ae0a0a843365d922e0057fc785f23f0e3 upstream.

We leak 4 bytes of kernel stack in response to an AUDIT_GET request as
we miss to initialize the mask member of status_set. Fix that.
