3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e351bf25fa373a3de0be2141b962c5c3c27006a2 upstream. It upsets static checkers when we don't check for allocation failure. I moved the memset() of "tv" earlier so we don't use uninitialized data on error.
