Subject: [PATCH 4.19 091/287] wifi: wil6210: debugfs: fix info leak in wil_write_file_wmi()

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

[ Upstream commit 7a4836560a6198d245d5732e26f94898b12eb760 ]

The simple_write_to_buffer() function will succeed if even a single
byte is initialized.  However, we need to initialize the whole buffer
to prevent information leaks.  Just use memdup_user().
