Subject: [PATCH V2] net/nfc/nci: fix infoleak in struct nci_set_config_param

From: "Minghao Chi (CGEL ZTE)" <chi.minghao@....com.cn>

On 64-bit systems, struct nci_set_config_param has
an added padding of 7 bytes between struct members
id and len. Even though all struct members are initialized,
the 7-byte hole will contain data from the kernel stack.
This patch zeroes out struct nci_set_config_param before
usage, preventing infoleaks to userspace.

v1->v2:
  -Modify the title.
  -Add explanatory information.
