3.8.13.13 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 6865d1e834be84ddd5808d93d5035b492346c64a ]

When filling the netlink message we miss to wipe the pad field,
therefore leak one byte of heap memory to userland. Fix this by
setting pad to 0.
