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.
