In commit dc9c4d0fe023, the arp_target array moved from a static global
to a local variable. By the nature of static globals, the array used to
be initialized to all 0. At present, it's full of random data, which
that gets interpreted as arp_target values, when none have actually been
specified. Systems end up booting with spew along these lines:

None of these were actually specified as ARP targets, and the driver does
seem to clean up the mess okay, but it's rather noisy and confusing, leaks
values to userspace, and the 255.255.255.255 spew shows up even when debug
prints are disabled.

The fix: just zero out arp_target at init time.

While we're in here, init arp_all_targets_value in the right place.
