If an i2c driver happens to not provide the full amount of data that a

by initializing the buffer to zero before it is passed to the i2c driver
so that any future drivers will not have this issue.
Also properly copy the amount of data recvieved to the userspace buffer,
as pointed out by Dan Carpenter.
