Subject: [PATCH 02/26] netfilter: ipset: remove useless memset() calls

From: Florent Fourcot <florent.fourcot@...irst.fr>

One of the memset call is buggy: it does not erase full array, but only pointer size.
Moreover, after a check, first step of nla_parse_nested/nla_parse is to
erase tb array as well. We can remove both calls safely.
