Subject: [PATCH 5.11 171/210] openvswitch: fix send of uninitialized stack memory in ct limit reply

From: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@....org>

[ Upstream commit 4d51419d49930be2701c2633ae271b350397c3ca ]

'struct ovs_zone_limit' has more members than initialized in
ovs_ct_limit_get_default_limit().  The rest of the memory is a random
kernel stack content that ends up being sent to userspace.

Fix that by using designated initializer that will clear all
non-specified fields.
