Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] tty: fix compat TIOCGSERIAL leaking uninitialized memory

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

Commit 77654350306a ("take compat TIOC[SG]SERIAL treatment into
tty_compat_ioctl()") changed the compat version of TIOCGSERIAL to start
copying a whole 'serial_struct32' to userspace rather than individual
fields, but failed to initialize all padding and fields -- namely the
hole after the 'iomem_reg_shift' field, and the 'reserved' field.

Fix this by initializing the struct to zero.

[v2: use sizeof, and convert the adjacent line for consistency.]
