firewire: cdev: fix information leak

A userspace client got to see uninitialized stack-allocated memory if it
specified an _IOC_READ type of ioctl and an argument size larger than
expected by firewire-core's ioctl handlers (but not larger than the
core's union ioctl_arg).

Fix this by clearing the requested buffer size to zero, but only at _IOR
ioctls.  This way, there is almost no runtime penalty to legitimate
ioctls.  The only legitimate _IOR is FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_CYCLE_TIMER with 12
or 16 bytes to memset.

[Another way to fix this would be strict checking of argument size (and
possibly direction) vs. command number.  However, we then need a lookup
table, and we need to allow for slight size deviations in case of 32bit
userland on 64bit kernel.]
