[PATCH v2] KVM: selftests: Initialise dynamically allocated configuration names

[Mark Brown]

When we dynamically generate a name for a configuration in get-reg-list
we use strcat() to append to a buffer allocated using malloc() but we
never initialise that buffer. Since malloc() offers no guarantees
regarding the contents of the memory it returns this can lead to us
corrupting, and likely overflowing, the buffer:

  vregs: PASS
  vregs+pmu: PASS
  sve: PASS
  sve+pmu: PASS
  vregs+pauth_address+pauth_generic: PASS
  X�vr+gspauth_addre+spauth_generi+pmu: PASS

Initialise the buffer to an empty string to avoid this.
