From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/shmem.c: zero out unused vma fields in shmem_pseudo_vma_init()
shmem/tmpfs uses pseudo vma to allocate page with correct NUMA policy.
The pseudo vma doesn't have vm_page_prot set. We are going to encode
encryption KeyID in vm_page_prot. Having garbage there causes problems.
Zero out all unused fields in the pseudo vma.
