Subject: [PATCH 5.10 125/141] cifs: always initialize struct msghdr smb_msg completely

From: Stefan Metzmacher <metze@...ba.org>

[ Upstream commit bedc8f76b3539ac4f952114b316bcc2251e808ce ]

So far we were just lucky because the uninitialized members
of struct msghdr are not used by default on a SOCK_STREAM tcp
socket.

But as new things like msg_ubuf and sg_from_iter where added
recently, we should play on the safe side and avoid potention
problems in future.
