[ upstream commit c8a1898f82f8c04cbe1d3e2d0eec0705386c23f7 ]

The driver accidentally allocates a huge memory
buffer for the customer metrics because it uses
an uninitialized variable for the buffer length.
This can lead to excessive memory footprint for
the driver which can even fail to initialize in
case of insufficient memory.
