Subject: [net-next V2 08/15] net/mlx5: E-Switch, Protect from invalid memory access in offload fdb table

From: Roi Dayan <roid@...lanox.com>

The esw offloads structures share a union with the legacy mode structs.
Reset the offloads struct to zero in init to protect from null
assumptions made by the legacy mode code.
