Subject: [patch] gru: info leak in gru_get_config_info()

The "info.fill" array isn't initialized so it can leak uninitialized
stack information to user space.

the other way around (clear first all bytes) looks more easy
in case someone will add more elements to the struct.

memset(&info, 0, sizeof(info));
info.nodes = num_online_nodes();
info.blades = info.nodes / nodesperblade;

That does seem more safe.
