Subject: [PATCH 3.8 3/4] floppy: ignore kernel-only members in FDRAWCMD ioctl input

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

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

From: Matthew Daley <mattd@...fuzz.com>

commit ef87dbe7614341c2e7bfe8d32fcb7028cc97442c upstream.

Always clear out these floppy_raw_cmd struct members after copying the
entire structure from userspace so that the in-kernel version is always
valid and never left in an interdeterminate state.
