ALSA: hdspm - prevent reading unitialized stack memory

Original patch by Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@vsecurity.com> under commit
e68d3b316ab7b02a074edc4f770e6a746390cb7d. I'm copying his text here:

The SNDRV_HDSPM_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO ioctl in hdspm.c allow unprivileged
users to read uninitialized kernel stack memory, because several fields
of the hdspm_config struct declared on the stack are not altered
or zeroed before being copied back to the user.  This patch takes care
of it.
