commit 7011e660938fc44ed86319c18a5954e95a82ab3e upstream.

Fixed formatting (tabs and line breaks).

The TIOCGICOUNT device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read
uninitialized stack memory, because the "reserved" member of the
serial_icounter_struct struct declared on the stack in hso_get_count()
is not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user.  This
patch takes care of it.
