CVE-2010-4074

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706149

The TIOCGICOUNT device ioctl in both mos7720.c and mos7840.c allows
unprivileged users to read uninitialized stack memory, because the
"reserved" member of the serial_icounter_struct struct declared on the
stack is not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user.
This patch takes care of it.

I'd like to see the upstream commit from which this patch was either 
cherry-picked or backported in the commit log. Its also of interest to 
know if it was actually accepted into one or more stable kernels. That 
provides some assurance that the patch has passed by some maintainer 
eyeballs. Otherwise,
