From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f7a1337f0d29b98733c8824e165fca3371d7d4fd upstream. Fix a small slab info leak due to a failure to clear the command buffer at allocation. The first 16 bytes of the command buffer are always sent to the device in pcan_usb_send_cmd() even though only the first two may have been initialised in case no argument payload is provided (e.g. when waiting for a response).
