Bluetooth: Fix leak of uninitialized data to userspace
struct hci_dev_list_req { __u16 dev_num; struct hci_dev_req dev_req[0]; /* hci_dev_req structures */ }; sizeof(struct hci_dev_list_req) == 4, so the two bytes immediately following "dev_num" will never be initialized. When this structure is copied to userspace, these uninitialized bytes are leaked. Fix by using kzalloc() instead of kmalloc(). Found using kmemcheck.
