struct xfrm_user_report is a __u8 proto field followed by a struct
xfrm_selector which means there is three "empty" bytes of padding, but
the padding is never zeroed before copying to userspace. Fix that up by
zeroing the structure before setting individual member variables.

As before, I _think_ this is right, but my code paths might be missing
something where the whole buffer is set to 0 ahead of time somewhere
else?
