Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] media: dvbdev: Initialize sbuf

Because the size passed to copy_from_user() cannot be known beforehand,
it needs to be checked during runtime with check_object_size. That makes
gcc believe that the content of sbuf can be used before init.

Fix:
/include/linux/thread_info.h:215:17: warning: ‘sbuf’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
