Subject: [Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH v2] firewire: Prevent kernel-infoleak in ioctl_get_info()

ioctl_get_info() is copying uninitialized stack memory to userspace due to
the compiler not initializing holes in statically allocated structures.
Fix it by initializing `event` using memset() in fill_bus_reset_event().

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Fixes: 344bbc4de14e ("firewire: Generalize get_config_rom to get_info.")
