[PATCH 3/3] hpsa: avoid leaking stack contents to userland

[Stephen M. Cameron]

From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon@xxxxxxxxx>

memset arg64 to zero in the passthrough ioctls to avoid leaking contents
of kernel stack memory to userland via uninitialized padding fields
inserted by the compiler for alignment reasons.
