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

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

From: Johannes Berg <johannes at sipsolutions.net>

commit e13bae4f807401729b3f27c7e882a96b8b292809 upstream.

As reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60514,
the station loop never initialises 'sinfo' and therefore adds up
a stack values, leaking stack information (the number of times it
adds values is easily obtained another way.)

Fix this by initialising the sinfo for each station to add.
