fprobe_fgraph_entry() reserves shadow stack space for every fprobe with
an exit handler, but only fills it for those whose entry handler returns
0. fprobe_return() walks the whole reservation, so the unused tail is
parsed as stale headers from an earlier call, and an exit handler can
run twice or despite its entry handler asking to skip it.

The original memset cleared only (reserved_words - used) bytes, and
commit e0a384434ae1 ("tracing: fprobe: do not zero out unused
fgraph_data") removed it. Clear the whole tail.

Fixes: 4346ba160409 ("fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph tracer")
