kernel/sys.c: fix stack memory content leak via UNAME26

commit 2702b1526c7278c4d65d78de209a465d4de2885e upstream.

Calling uname() with the UNAME26 personality set allows a leak of kernel
stack contents.  This fixes it by defensively calculating the length of
copy_to_user() call, making the len argument unsigned, and initializing
the stack buffer to zero (now technically unneeded, but hey, overkill).

CVE-2012-0957
