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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter at oracle.com>

[ Upstream commit 7df566bbdd0af0785542b89466a937e94257fcfb ]

This function is called from dcbnl_build_peer_app().  The "info"
struct isn't initialized at all so we disclose 2 bytes of uninitialized
stack data.  We should clear it before passing it to the user.

Fixes: 48365e485275 ('qlcnic: dcb: Add support for CEE Netlink interface.')
