Jann Horn 0a0b987344 compat: fix 4-byte infoleak via uninitialized struct field ...

Commit 3a4d44b616 ("ntp: Move adjtimex related compat syscalls to
native counterparts") removed the memset() in compat_get_timex().  Since
then, the compat adjtimex syscall can invoke do_adjtimex() with an
uninitialized ->tai.

If do_adjtimex() doesn't write to ->tai (e.g.  because the arguments are
invalid), compat_put_timex() then copies the uninitialized ->tai field
to userspace.

Fix it by adding the memset() back.
