Subject: [PATCH 4.9 081/104] ixgbe: fix use of uninitialized padding

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

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

From: Emil Tantilov <emil.s.tantilov@...el.com>


[ Upstream commit dcfd6b839c998bc9838e2a47f44f37afbdf3099c ]

This patch is resolving Coverity hits where padding in a structure could
be used uninitialized.

- Initialize fwd_cmd.pad/2 before ixgbe_calculate_checksum()

- Initialize buffer.pad2/3 before ixgbe_hic_unlocked()
