A bug was introduced during unification of setting CAP_SMP_T_SWCOORD for
the _PDC and _OSC methods.
The third u32 in the buffer is never cleared before setting bits on it.
The memory is not guaranteed to be zero as it was allocated by kmalloc()
instead of kzalloc().
Fix this by initializing the third u32 in the buffer to 0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
