Subject: [PATCH net 5/5] netfilter: nf_tables: use kzalloc for hook allocation

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

KMSAN reports unitialized variable when registering the hook,
   reg->hook_ops_type == NF_HOOK_OP_BPF)
        ~~~~~~~~~~~ undefined

This is a small structure, just use kzalloc to make sure this
won't happen again when new fields get added to nf_hook_ops.

Fixes: 7b4b2fa37587 ("netfilter: annotate nf_tables base hook ops")
