USB: usbfs: don't leak kernel data in siginfo

Browse Source 
commit f0c2b68198 upstream.

When a signal is delivered, the information in the siginfo structure
is copied to userspace.  Good security practice dicatates that the
unused fields in this structure should be initialized to 0 so that
random kernel stack data isn't exposed to the user.  This patch adds
such an initialization to the two places where usbfs raises signals.
