3.16.58-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a45b599ad808c3c982fdcdc12b0b8611c2f92824 upstream.

This shall help avoid copying uninitialized memory to the userspace when
calling ioctl(fd, SG_IO) with an empty command.
