Subject: [ethtool PATCH] ethtool: Resolve use of uninitialized memory in rxclass_get_dev_info

From: Alexander Duyck <[email-masked]>

The ethtool function for getting the rule count was not zeroing out the
data field before passing it to the kernel.  As a result the value started
uninitialized and was incorrectly returning a result indicating that
devices supported setting new rule indexes.  In order to correct this I am
adding a one line fix that sets data to zero before we pass the command to
the kernel.
