fs/select.c: fix information leak to userspace
On some architectures __kernel_suseconds_t is int. On these archs struct
timeval has padding bytes at the end. This struct is copied to userspace
with these padding bytes uninitialized. This leads to leaking of contents
of kernel stack memory.
This bug was added with v2.6.27-rc5-286-gb773ad4.
