[PATCH] char: genrtc: fix infoleak to userspace

[Vasiliy Kulikov]

struct pll is copied to userspace.  It is filled in "multiplexing" function
get_rtc_pll().  At least one implementator, q40_get_rtc_pll(), doesn't
fill .pll_ctrl field.  It's hard to understand whether either the caller
or the callee must zero the unused struct fields, however, on another
ioctl commands the caller already zeroes the structure.  So, let's the
caller use memset().
