drivers/video/sis/sis_main.c: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory
commit fd02db9de73faebc51240619c7c7f99bee9f65c7 upstream. The FBIOGET_VBLANK device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 16 bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the "reserved" member of the fb_vblank struct declared on the stack is not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user. This patch takes care of it.
