[S390] fix user readable uninitialised kernel memory (CVE-2006-5174)
A user space program can read uninitialised kernel memory
by appending to a file from a bad address and then reading
the result back. The cause is the copy_from_user function
that does not clear the remaining bytes of the kernel
buffer after it got a fault on the user space address.
