Subject: [PATCH 4.8 33/92] cdc-acm: fix uninitialized variable

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

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

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@...e.com>

commit 7309aa847ead3fa561663b16779a0dde8c64cc7c upstream.

variable struct usb_cdc_parsed_header h may be used
uninitialized in acm_probe.

In kernel 4.8.

    /* handle quirks deadly to normal probing*/
    if (quirks == NO_UNION_NORMAL)

        ...

        goto skip_normal_probe;
    }

we bypass call to

    cdc_parse_cdc_header(&h, intf, buffer, buflen);

but later use h in

    if (h.usb_cdc_country_functional_desc) { /* export the country data */
