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

Browse Source 
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).
