Subject: [net-next 07/10] ixgbe: fix use of uninitialized padding

From: Emil Tantilov <emil.s.tantilov@...el.com>

This patch is resolving Coverity hits where padding in a structure could
be used uninitialized.

- Initialize fwd_cmd.pad/2 before ixgbe_calculate_checksum()

- Initialize buffer.pad2/3 before ixgbe_hic_unlocked()
