[PATCH] RDMA/mlx5: Use memset_after() to zero struct mlx5_ib_mr

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Nov 18 2021 - 15:31:43 EST


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

Use memset_after() to zero the end of struct mlx5_ib_mr that should
be initialized.
