x86/mtrr: Don't copy uninitialized gentry fields back to userspace
commit 32043fa065b51e0b1433e48d118821c71b5cd65d upstream. Currently the copy_to_user of data in the gentry struct is copying uninitiaized data in field _pad from the stack to userspace. Fix this by explicitly memset'ing gentry to zero, this also will zero any compiler added padding fields that may be in struct (currently there are none).
