This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit d6b41cb06044a7d895db82bdd54f6e4219970510 upstream.

Since we cannot make sure the 'val_count' will always be none zero
here, and then if it equals to zero, the kmemdup() will return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which equals to ((void *)16).

So this patch fix this with just doing the zero check before calling
kmemdup().
