Subject: [PATCH 1/3] can: peak_usb: fix memset() usage

From: Stephane Grosjean <s.grosjean@...k-system.com>

This patchs fixes a misplaced call to memset() that fills the request
buffer with 0. The problem was with sending PCAN_USBPRO_REQ_FCT
requests, the content set by the caller was thus lost.

With this patch, the memory area is zeroed only when requesting info
from the device.
