3.2.69-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f0c2b68198589249afd2b1f2c4e8de8c03e19c16 upstream.
When a signal is delivered, the information in the siginfo structure
is copied to userspace. Good security practice dicatates that the
unused fields in this structure should be initialized to 0 so that
random kernel stack data isn't exposed to the user. This patch adds
such an initialization to the two places where usbfs raises signals.
