This patch is unnecessary with OpenSSH 6.5p1 and newer, because
kbdint_alloc now uses xcalloc rather than xmalloc and thus zeroes the
entire structure. The regression fix was thus only needed for precise
and not for later releases; I'll drop it from wily shortly when
resyncing with unstable, in the cause of keeping a smaller delta against
upstream.
