Subject: [PATCH ethtool] ethtool: Fix uninitialized variable use at qsfp dump

Struct sff_diags can be used uninitialized at sff8636_show_dom, this
caused the tool to show unreported fields (supports_alarms) by the lower
level driver.

Fixes: a5e73bb05ee4 ("ethtool:QSFP Plus/QSFP28 Diagnostics Information Support")
