Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: Use struct_group() to avoid cross-field memset()

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally writing across neighboring fields.

Use struct_group() to capture the fields to be reset, so that memset()
can be appropriately bounds-checked by the compiler.
