I'm puzzled by that.  Isn't this function called by v4l_querycap(),
which is called by video_usercopy()?  And video_usercopy() zeroes the
entire structure before doing so, or at least it appears to be intended
to.

Anyway, if we're failing to initialise kernel memory that's copied to
user-space, that's a (usually minor) security issue and the fix ought to
be cc'd to stable.

Ben.
