drivers/char/hpet.c: fix information leak to userland
Structure info is copied to userland with some padding fields unitialized. It leads to leaking of stack memory. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove now-unneeded zeroing of info->hi_ireqfreq] Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon@gmail.com> Cc: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
