Subject: [RFC PATCH] media: uvcvideo: Modified uvc_ctrl_fill_xu_info 'kmalloc' to 'kzalloc'

If the length of UVC XU Control is 1 (even though this is illegal), due
to the non-zero value of data, UVC_GET_LEN could potentially result in a
length that is not 1. In order to ensure that 2-byte data array is set
to 0, 'kmalloc' is modified to 'kzalloc'.
