syzbot identified a kernel information leak vulnerability in
do_sys_name_to_handle() and issued the following report [1].

Bytes 18-19 of 20 are uninitialized
Memory access of size 20 starts at ffff888128a46380
Data copied to user address 0000000020000240"

Per Chuck Lever's suggestion, use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() to
solve the problem.
