CVE-2010-4078

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/707579

Released by: 2.6.35.y stable upstream
             2.6.32.y stable upstream

The FBIOGET_VBLANK device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 16 bytes
of uninitialized stack memory, because the "reserved" member of the
fb_vblank struct declared on the stack is not altered or zeroed before
being copied back to the user.  This patch takes care of it.
