Subject: [PATCH net-next] igmp: remove unnecessary in_device member zeroing

ip_mc_init_dev() is passed a freshly kzalloc'd in_device so it is
unnecessary to explicitly zero out the members.

Signed-off-by: Shawn Bohrer <sbohrer@...advisors.com>

P.S. If explicitly zeroing these members is desired there is still a bug
initializing in_dev->mc_count inside of the #ifdef CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST.
In practice it never matters because as I pointed out mc_count is
already initialized to zero.
