Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: SOF: ensure all fields in header are zero'd before copying back to userspace

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Field header.tlv is uninitialized and being copied back to userspace
and hence leaking data from the stack to userspace.  Fix this by
ensuring the header structure is zero'd.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
