drivers/net/usb/hso.c: prevent reading uninitialized memory

Browse Source 
Fixed formatting (tabs and line breaks).

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