Subject: [PATCH 3.16 245/245] slcan: Don't transmit uninitialized stack
 data in padding

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

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

From: Richard Palethorpe <rpalethorpe@...e.com>

commit b9258a2cece4ec1f020715fe3554bc2e360f6264 upstream.

struct can_frame contains some padding which is not explicitly zeroed in
slc_bump. This uninitialized data will then be transmitted if the stack
initialization hardening feature is not enabled (CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL).

This commit just zeroes the whole struct including the padding.
