commit 21cbf883d073abbfe09e3924466aa5e0449e7261 upstream.

struct iw_point has a 32bit hole on 64bit arches.

struct iw_point {
  void __user   *pointer;       /* Pointer to the data  (in user space) */
  __u16         length;         /* number of fields or size in bytes */
  __u16         flags;          /* Optional params */
};

Make sure to zero the structure to avoid disclosing 32bits of kernel data
to user space.
