4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ce024f42c2e28b6bce4ecc1e891b42f57f753892 ]
When RTM_GETSTATS was added the fields of its header struct were not all
initialized when returning the result thus leaking 4 bytes of information
to user-space per rtnl_fill_statsinfo call, so initialize them now. Thanks
to Alexander Potapenko for the detailed report and bisection.
