[PATCH 4.14 006/156] gpio: Fix kernel stack leak to userspace

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 24bd3efc9d1efb5f756a7c6f807a36ddb6adc671 upstream.

The GPIO event descriptor was leaking kernel stack to
userspace because we don't zero the variable before
use. Ooops. Fix this.
