3.2.89-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Chris Salls <salls@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit cf01fb9985e8deb25ccf0ea54d916b8871ae0e62 upstream. In the case that compat_get_bitmap fails we do not want to copy the bitmap to the user as it will contain uninitialized stack data and leak sensitive data.
