From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter at oracle.com>

[ Upstream commit d3d19d6fc5736a798b118971935ce274f7deaa82 ]

The "fix" struct has a 2 byte hole after ->ywrapstep and the
"fix = info->fix;" assignment doesn't necessarily clear it.  It depends
on the compiler.  The solution is just to replace the assignment with an
memcpy().

Fixes: 1f5e31d7e55a ("fbmem: don't call copy_from/to_user() with mutex held")
