3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
[ Upstream commit 320f1a4a175e7cd5d3f006f92b4d4d3e2cbb7bb5 ]
proc_dostring() needs an initialized destination string, while the one
provided in proc_sctp_do_hmac_alg() contains stack garbage.
Thus, writing to cookie_hmac_alg would strlen() that garbage and end up
accessing invalid memory.
Fixes: 3c68198e7 ("sctp: Make hmac algorithm selection for cookie generation dynamic")
