Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 248/254] IB/core: Clear AH attr variable to prevent garbage data

3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Devesh Sharma <devesh.sharma@...lex.com>

commit 8b0f93d9490653a7b9fc91f3570089132faed1c0 upstream.

During create-ah from userspace, uverbs is sending garbage data in
attr.dmac and attr.vlan_id.  This patch sets attr.dmac and
attr.vlan_id to zero.

Fixes: dd5f03beb4f7 ("IB/core: Ethernet L2 attributes in verbs/cm structures")
