Subject: [PATCH 5.4 304/434] RDMA/efa: Clear the admin command buffer prior to its submission

From: Gal Pressman <galpress@...zon.com>

[ Upstream commit 64c264872b8879e2ab9017eefe9514d4c045c60e ]

We cannot rely on the entry memcpy as we only copy the actual size of the
command, the rest of the bytes must be memset to zero.

Currently providing non-zero memory will not have any user visible impact.
However, since admin commands are extendable (in a backwards compatible
way) everything beyond the size of the command must be cleared to prevent
issues in the future.

Fixes: 0420e542569b ("RDMA/efa: Implement functions that submit and complete admin commands")
