This changes the allocation of cached_vmcs12 to use kzalloc instead of kmalloc. This removes the information leak found by Syzkaller (see Reported-by) in this case and prevents similar leaks from happening based on cached_vmcs12. It also changes vmx_get_nested_state to copy out the full 4k VMCS12_SIZE in copy_to_user rather than only the size of the struct. Tested: rebuilt against head, booted, and ran the syszkaller repro https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=ReproC&x=174efca3400000 without observing any problems.

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.
