Subject: [PATCH 4.4 014/190] fbdev: zero-fill colormap in fbcmap.c

From: Phillip Potter <phil@...lpotter.co.uk>

commit 19ab233989d0f7ab1de19a036e247afa4a0a1e9c upstream.

Use kzalloc() rather than kmalloc() for the dynamically allocated parts
of the colormap in fb_alloc_cmap_gfp, to prevent a leak of random kernel
data to userspace under certain circumstances.

Fixes a KMSAN-found infoleak bug reported by syzbot at:
