Subject: [PATCH 5.12 052/677] misc: vmw_vmci: explicitly initialize vmci_datagram payload

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.SAKURA.ne.jp>

commit b2192cfeba8481224da0a4ec3b4a7ccd80b1623b upstream.

KMSAN complains that vmci_check_host_caps() left the payload part of
check_msg uninitialized.
