Subject: paride: fix potential information leak in pg_read()
Smatch has a new check for Rosenberg type information leaks where structs
are copied to the user with uninitialized stack data in them. i In this
case, the pg_write_hdr struct has a hole in it.
struct pg_write_hdr {
char magic; /* 0 1 */
char func; /* 1 1 */
/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */
int dlen; /* 4 4 */
