[PATCH] landlock: Initialize kernel stack variables properly
From: Austin Kim
Date: Wed Nov 03 2021 - 03:14:42 EST
In case kernel stack variables are not initialized properly, there might
be a little chance of kernel information disclosure. So it is better for
kernel stack variables to be initialized with null characters.
