[v3] drivers/net/tulip/de4x5.c: fix union member name in DE4X5_GET_REG ioctl

Now with descriptive title, as requested.

This was previously reported as a security issue due to leakage of
uninitialized stack memory.  Jeff Mahoney pointed out that this is
incorrect since the copied data is from a union (rather than a struct).
Therefore, this patch is only under consideration for the sake of
correctness, and is not security relevant.

Tab et al. damaged by your email client.

This is getting tiring for me, I guess it's getting tiring for
you too? :-)

While you are at it

	if (copy_to_user(ioc->data, tmp.lval, ioc->len))
		return -EFAULT;
