block: ioctl: fix information leak to userland


Structure hd_geometry is copied to userland with 4 padding bytes
between cylinders and start fields uninitialized on 64-bit platforms.
It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.

Currently there is no memset() in real implementations of getgeo()
in drivers/block/, so it makes sense to have memset() in blkdev_ioctl().
