USB: usbfs: don't leak kernel data in siginfo
commit f0c2b681 upstream. When a signal is delivered, the information in the siginfo structure is copied to userspace. Good security practice dicatates that the unused fields in this structure should be initialized to 0 so that random kernel stack data isn't exposed to the user. This patch adds such an initialization to the two places where usbfs raises signals.
