ethtool: Use kcalloc instead of kmalloc for ethtool_get_strings
[ Upstream commit 077cb37fcf6f00a45f375161200b5ee0cd4e937b ]
It seems that kernel memory can leak into userspace by a
kmalloc, ethtool_get_strings, then copy_to_user sequence.
Avoid this by using kcalloc to zero fill the copied buffer.
