3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx> commit 49434c6c575d2008c0abbc93e615019f39e01252 upstream. snd_emu10k1_fx8010_ioctl(SNDRV_EMU10K1_IOCTL_INFO) allocates memory using kmalloc() and partially fills it by calling snd_emu10k1_fx8010_info() before returning the resulting structure to userspace, leaving uninitialized holes. Let's just use kzalloc() here.
