Subject: [PATCH 3.12 72/88] ALSA: timer: Fix leak in SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_PARAMS

From: Kangjie Lu <kangjielu@...il.com>

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

===============

commit cec8f96e49d9be372fdb0c3836dcf31ec71e457e upstream.

The stack object “tread” has a total size of 32 bytes. Its field
“event” and “val” both contain 4 bytes padding. These 8 bytes
padding bytes are sent to user without being initialized.
