Subject: [PATCH 3.16 59/63] can: kvaser_usb: kvaser_usb_leaf: Fix some
 info-leaks to USB devices

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

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

From: Xiaolong Huang <butterflyhuangxx@...il.com>

commit da2311a6385c3b499da2ed5d9be59ce331fa93e9 upstream.

Uninitialized Kernel memory can leak to USB devices.

Fix this by using kzalloc() instead of kmalloc().
