2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Dan Rosenberg <[email protected]>

commit 405707985594169cfd0b1d97d29fcb4b4c6f2ac9 upstream.

The FBIOGET_VBLANK device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 16
bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the "reserved" member of
the fb_vblank struct declared on the stack is not altered or zeroed
before being copied back to the user.  This patch takes care of it.
