3.2.59-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f764cd68d9036498f08fe8834deb6a367b5c2542 upstream.
Zero-initializing ether_type masked that the ether type would never be
obtained for 8021x packets and the comparison against eapol_type
would always fail.
