[ 063/175] TPM: Zero buffer whole after copying to userspace

From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Also in: lkml

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tim Gardner <redacted>

commit 3ab1aff89477dafb1aaeafe8c8669114a02b7226 upstream.

Commit 3321c07ae5068568cd61ac9f4ba749006a7185c9 correctly clears the TPM
buffer if the user specified read length is >= the TPM buffer length. However,
if the user specified read length is < the TPM buffer length, then part of the
TPM buffer is left uncleared.
