Subject[193/244] TPM: Zero buffer after copying to userspace
3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Peter Huewe <huewe.external.infineon@googlemail.com>

commit 3321c07ae5068568cd61ac9f4ba749006a7185c9 upstream.

Since the buffer might contain security related data it might be a good idea to
zero the buffer after we have copied it to userspace.

This got assigned CVE-2011-1162.
