Smatch is complaining that there is no error checking to see if the
copy_from_user() fails in alignment_get_thumb.  Eventually the syzbot
will learn to detect this as well.

Most distro kernels are going to automatically zero out stack variables
like tinst2 to prevent undefined behavior.

Presumably this is a fast path.  So setting "u16 tinst2 = 0;" does not
affect runtime speed for distro kernels and it might be the best
solution.
