Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: sound/pci/rme9652: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory

commit e68d3b316ab7b02a074edc4f770e6a746390cb7d upstream.

The SNDRV_HDSP_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO and
SNDRV_HDSP_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO ioctls in hdspm.c and hdsp.c allow
unprivileged users to read uninitialized kernel stack memory, because
several fields of the hdsp{m}_config_info structs declared on the stack
are not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user.  This
patch takes care of it.
