Subject: [Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH net v2] xdp: Prevent kernel-infoleak in xsk_getsockopt()

xsk_getsockopt() is copying uninitialized stack memory to userspace when
`extra_stats` is `false`. Fix it.

Fixes: 8aa5a33578e9 ("xsk: Add new statistics")
Suggested-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

---
Doing `= {};` is sufficient since currently `struct xdp_statistics` is
defined as follows:

struct xdp_statistics {
	__u64 rx_dropped;
	__u64 rx_invalid_descs;
	__u64 tx_invalid_descs;
	__u64 rx_ring_full;
	__u64 rx_fill_ring_empty_descs;
	__u64 tx_ring_empty_descs;
};

When being copied to the userspace, `stats` will not contain any
uninitialized "holes" between struct fields.

Changes in v2:
    - Remove the "Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org" tag. (Suggested by Song Liu
      <songliubraving@...com>)
    - Initialize `stats` by assignment instead of using memset().
      (Suggested by Song Liu <songliubraving@...com>)
