3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Micay <[e-mail]>

commit 5ea30e4e58040cfd6434c2f33dc3ea76e2c15b05 upstream.

The stack canary is an 'unsigned long' and should be fully initialized to
random data rather than only 32 bits of random data.
