drivers/net/eql.c: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory
Fixed formatting (tabs and line breaks). The EQL_GETMASTRCFG device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 16 bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the "master_name" member of the master_config_t struct declared on the stack in eql_g_master_cfg() is not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user. This patch takes care of it. Signed-off-by: Dan Rosenberg <dan.j.rosenberg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
