[PATCH] argo: don't leak stack contents when returning ring info

[Jan Beulich]

The max_message_size field of the output gets filled only when the flags
field is non-zero. Don't copy back uninitialized data to guest context.

I'm afraid I'm missing something. AFAICT ent gets filled from the
user-space contents of data_ent_hnd that's copied from user-space at
the top of the function, so there's no leak from hypervisor stack in
the return path?

Thanks, Roger.

Oh, I managed to overlook this multiple time, so ...

Thanks for noticing,
