Subject: [PATCH] smb: Work around Clang __bdos() type confusion

Recent versions of Clang gets confused about the possible size of the
"user" allocation, and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE ends up emitting a
warning[1]:

repro.c:126:4: warning: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with 'warning' attribute: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
  126 |                         __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
      |                         ^

for this memset():

        int len;
        __le16 *user;
	...
        len = ses->user_name ? strlen(ses->user_name) : 0;
        user = kmalloc(2 + (len * 2), GFP_KERNEL);
	...
	if (len) {
		...
	} else {
		memset(user, '\0', 2);
	}

While Clang works on this bug[2], switch to using a direct assignment,
which avoids memset() entirely which both simplifies the code and silences
the false positive warning. (Making "len" size_t also silences the
warning, but the direct assignment seems better.)
