Subject: arm64/ptrace: Avoid uninitialised struct padding in fpr_set()
From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com>
commit aeb1f39d814b2e21e5e5706a48834bfd553d0059 upstream.
This patch adds an explicit __reserved[] field to user_fpsimd_state
to replace what was previously unnamed padding.
This ensures that data in this region are propagated across
assignment rather than being left possibly uninitialised at the
destination.
