Subject: [PATCH] iommufd: Initialize batch structures in map/unmap paths
Author: kartikey406@...il.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

KMSAN reported uninitialized values in batch processing for both the
map and unmap paths:

1. In iopt_area_fill_domains(), struct pfn_reader pfns was used
   uninitialized, causing warnings in batch_add_pfn_num() when
   accessing batch->npfns[] and batch->pfns[] arrays.

2. In __iopt_area_unfill_domain(), struct pfn_batch batch was used
   uninitialized, causing warnings in batch_from_domain() when
   accessing the same arrays.

Although some initialization functions are called on these structures,
they do not initialize all fields, leaving arrays and padding bytes
uninitialized.

Initialize both structures to zero to ensure all fields start in a
known state.
