Subject: asm-generic: make copy_from_user() zero the destination properly
From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2545e5da080b4839dd859e3b09343a884f6ab0e3 upstream.
... in all cases, including the failing access_ok()
Note that some architectures using asm-generic/uaccess.h have
__copy_from_user() not zeroing the tail on failure halfway
through. This variant works either way.
