Subject[PATCH] net/packet: initialize val in packet_getsockopt()
Date
In the case getsockopt() is called with PACKET_HDRLEN and zero length,
|val| remains uninitialized and the syscall may behave differently
depending on its value. This doesn't have security consequences (as the
uninit bytes aren't copied back), but it's still cleaner to initialize
|val|.

This bug has been detected with KMSAN.
