[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH] block/scsi-ioctl: Prevent kernel-infoleak in scsi_put_cdrom_generic_arg()

scsi_put_cdrom_generic_arg() is copying uninitialized stack memory to
userspace due to the compiler not initializing holes in statically
allocated structures. Fix it by initializing `cgc32` using memset().
