3.16.81-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Xiaolong Huang <butterflyhuangxx@xxxxxxxxx>
commit da2311a6385c3b499da2ed5d9be59ce331fa93e9 upstream.
Uninitialized Kernel memory can leak to USB devices.
Fix this by using kzalloc() instead of kmalloc().
