Subject: [PATCH 3.16 71/72] media: ttusb-dec: Fix info-leak in
 ttusb_dec_send_command()

3.16.79-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Tomas Bortoli <tomasbortoli@...il.com>

commit a10feaf8c464c3f9cfdd3a8a7ce17e1c0d498da1 upstream.

The function at issue does not always initialize each byte allocated
for 'b' and can therefore leak uninitialized memory to a USB device in
the call to usb_bulk_msg()

Use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc()
