Subject[PATCH v2] fbdev: potential information leak in do_fb_ioctl()
The "fix" struct has a 2 byte hole after ->ywrapstep and the
"fix = info->fix;" assignment doesn't necessarily clear it. It depends
on the compiler. The solution is just to replace the assignment with an
memcpy().

Fixes: 1f5e31d7e55a ("fbmem: don't call copy_from/to_user() with mutex held")
