[PATCH] misc: vmw_vmci: fix kernel info-leak by initializing dbells in vmci_ctx_get_chkpt_doorbells()

From: Anant Thazhemadam
Date: Sun Nov 22 2020 - 17:45:45 EST


A kernel-infoleak was reported by syzbot, which was caused because
dbells was left uninitialized.
Using kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() fixes this issue.
