Two functions in the mt7996 driver cause a clang-21 build warning because
the pass uninitialized data into skb_put_data:

drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mcu.c:1894:21: error: variable 'hdr' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
 1894 |         skb_put_data(skb, &hdr, sizeof(hdr));
      |                            ^~~
drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mcu.c:3386:21: error: variable 'hdr' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
 3386 |         skb_put_data(skb, &hdr, sizeof(hdr));
      |                            ^~~

Remove the otherwise unused variables and instead use skb_put_zero() instead
to fill the header with zeroes.
