When msg_namelen is non-zero the sockaddr info gets filled out, as requested, but the code fails to initialize the padding bytes of struct sockaddr_ax25 inserted by the compiler for alignment. Additionally the msg_namelen value is updated to sizeof(struct full_sockaddr_ax25) but is not always filled up to this size. Both issues lead to the fact that the code will leak uninitialized kernel stack bytes in net/socket.c. Fix both issues by initializing the memory with memset(0).
