[PATCH] uml: networking - clear transport-specific structure
Pre-clear transport-specific private structure before passing it down. In fact, I just got a slab corruption and kernel panic on exit because kfree() was called on a pointer which probably was never allocated, BUT hadn't been set to NULL by the driver. As the code is full of such errors, I've decided for now to go the safe way (we're talking about drivers), and to do the simple thing. I'm also starting to fix drivers, and already sent a patch for the daemon transport.
