4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
commit 33baefe5e72f17a6df378e48196cd8cada11deec upstream.
krealloc() doesn't work always properly with __GFP_ZERO flag as
expected. For clearing the reallocated area, we need to clear
explicitly instead.
