Not many people have seen this, but the i_bdev field in fake_inode in
ioctl_by_bdev() is uninitialised. Since this field is dereferenced by
BLKFLSBUF in rd_ioctl, it can lead to a panic (depending on what happens to be
on the stack). The attached fixes the problem and clears all the fields in
fake_inode to make any other problems like this show up.
