This looks like some small race at virmidi reading and the buffer
handling, which should be almost harmless by itself.
Nevertheless, the fix should be easy, just replacing kvmalloc() with
kvzalloc(), as below.

Let's check whether this works.

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: rawmidi: Initialize allocated buffers

syzbot reported the uninitialized value exposure in certain situations
using virmidi loop.  It's likely a very small race at writing and
reading, and the influence is almost negligible.  But it's safer to
paper over this just by replacing the existing kvmalloc() with
kvzalloc().
