[ 065/218] oprofile, s390: Fix uninitialized memory access when writing to oprofilefs

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@xxxxxxx>

commit 81ff3478d9ba7f0b48b0abef740e542fd83adf79 upstream.

If oprofilefs_ulong_from_user() is called with count equals zero, *val
remains unchanged. Depending on the implementation it might be
uninitialized. Fixing users of oprofilefs_ulong_ from_user().

We missed these s390 changes with:

 913050b oprofile: Fix uninitialized memory access when writing to writing to oprofilefs
