[PATCH 4.9 071/207] media: usb: dvd-usb: fix uninit-value bug in dibusb_read_eeprom_byte()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Anant Thazhemadam <anant.thazhemadam@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 899a61a3305d49e8a712e9ab20d0db94bde5929f ]

In dibusb_read_eeprom_byte(), if dibusb_i2c_msg() fails, val gets
assigned an value that's not properly initialized.
Using kzalloc() in place of kmalloc() for the buffer fixes this issue,
as the val can now be set to 0 in the event dibusb_i2c_msg() fails.
