[PATCH 5.10 11/82] HID: core: zero-initialize the report buffer

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

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

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.com>

[ Upstream commit 177f25d1292c7e16e1199b39c85480f7f8815552 ]

Since the report buffer is used by all kinds of drivers in various ways, let's
zero-initialize it during allocation to make sure that it can't be ever used
to leak kernel memory via specially-crafted report.
