The TIOCGICOUNT device ioctl in both mos7720.c and mos7840.c allows
unprivileged users to read uninitialized stack memory, because the
"reserved" member of the serial_icounter_struct struct declared on the
stack is not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user.
This patch takes care of it.
