3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com>
[ Upstream commits 3ce5efad47b62c57a4f5c54248347085a750ce0e and c802d759623acbd6e1ee9fbdabae89159a513913 ]
In case msg_name is set the sockaddr info gets filled out, as requested, but the code fails to initialize the padding bytes of struct sockaddr_ax25 inserted by the compiler for alignment. Also the sax25_ndigis member does not get assigned, leaking four more bytes.
Both issues lead to the fact that the code will leak uninitialized kernel stack bytes in net/socket.c.
Fix both issues by initializing the memory with memset(0).
