Subject: scsi: sg: fixup infoleak when using SG_GET_REQUEST_TABLE

From: Hannes Reinecke <[email protected]>

commit 3e0097499839e0fe3af380410eababe5a47c4cf9 upstream.

When calling SG_GET_REQUEST_TABLE ioctl only a half-filled table is returned; the remaining part will then contain stale kernel memory information. This patch zeroes out the entire table to avoid this issue.
