dlm: don't leak kernel pointer to userspace
In copy_result_to_user(), we first create a struct dlm_lock_result, which contains a struct dlm_lksb, the last member of which is a pointer to the lvb. Unfortunately, we copy the entire struct dlm_lksb to the result struct, which is then copied to userspace at the end of the function, leaking the contents of sb_lvbptr, which is a valid kernel pointer in some cases (indeed, later in the same function the data it points to is copied to userspace). It is an error to leak kernel pointers to userspace, as it undermines KASLR protections (see e.g. 65eea8ed ("floppy: Do not copy a kernel pointer to user memory in FDGETPRM ioctl") for another example of this).
