5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 177f25d1292c7e16e1199b39c85480f7f8815552 ]
Since the report buffer is used by all kinds of drivers in various ways, let's
zero-initialize it during allocation to make sure that it can't be ever used
to leak kernel memory via specially-crafted report.
