[PATCH v2 03/28] drm/atomic_state_helper: Remove memset in __drm_atomic_helper_bridge_reset()

[Maxime Ripard <mripard@kernel.org>]

The general consensus is that reset helpers shouldn't call memset
directly because the object it initializes is supposed to have been
zeroed out.

Remove the memset call from
__drm_atomic_helper_bridge_reset() and document the expectation.

It should not have any impact on the current code base since there's
only two callers: drm_atomic_helper_bridge_reset() and
cdns-mhdp8546-core's cdns_mhdp_bridge_atomic_reset(), both allocating
the object using kzalloc_obj().
