Subject: i2c: fix kernel memory disclosure in dev interface

From: Vlad Tsyrklevich <[email protected]>

commit 30f939feaeee23e21391cfc7b484f012eb189c3c upstream.

i2c_smbus_xfer() does not always fill an entire block, allowing kernel stack memory disclosure through the temp variable. Clear it before it's read to.
