Subject: drm: fix NULL pointer access by wrong ioctl

From: Zhaowei Yuan <[email protected]>

commit 1539fb9bd405ee32282ea0a38404f9e008ac5b7a upstream.

If user uses wrong ioctl command with _IOC_NONE and argument size
greater than 0, it can cause NULL pointer access from memset of line
463. If _IOC_NONE, don't memset to 0 for kdata.
