Thanks!
This is caused by CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, which adds fields to
'struct attribute'. In particular ignore_lockdep is never initialized.
If we memset to 0 before calling sysfs_attr_init() (which doesn't
actually initialize the attribute!), this is fixed.
Cheers,
Rusty.
Subject: param: fix uninitialized read with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
ignore_lockdep is uninitialized, and sysfs_attr_init() doesn't initialize
it, so memset to 0.
