sched: Fix information leak in sys_sched_getattr()
We're copying the on-stack structure to userspace, but forgot to give the right number of bytes to copy. This allows the calling process to obtain up to PAGE_SIZE bytes from the stack (and possibly adjacent kernel memory). This fix copies only as much as we actually have on the stack (attr->size defaults to the size of the struct) and leaves the rest of the userspace-provided buffer untouched. Found using kmemcheck + trinity.
