nci_rf_discover_ntf_packet() and nci_rf_intf_activated_ntf_packet() each
parse a notification into an on-stack struct (nci_rf_discover_ntf /
nci_rf_intf_activated_ntf) that is not initialised. The technology- and
activation-specific parameters are only extracted when the corresponding
length field is non-zero, so a notification that reports a zero length
leaves the relevant union uninitialised - and the handlers then read it:

 - discover: with rf_tech_specific_params_len == 0, nci_add_new_protocol()
   reads the uninitialised rf_tech_specific_params union (nfca_poll->
   nfcid1_len is used as a branch condition and a memcpy length) into
   ndev->targets;
 - activated: with rf_tech_specific_params_len == 0 the same union is read
   via nci_target_auto_activated(); with activation_params_len == 0 the
   activation_params union is read by nci_store_ats_nfc_iso_dep() into
   ndev->target_ats.

In each case the uninitialised bytes are subsequently exposed to user
space (NFC_CMD_GET_TARGET / NFC_ATTR_TARGET_ATS).

  BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in nci_add_new_protocol+0x624/0x6c0
   nci_add_new_protocol+0x624/0x6c0
   nci_ntf_packet+0x25b2/0x3c30
   nci_rx_work+0x318/0x5d0
   process_scheduled_works+0x84b/0x17a0
   worker_thread+0xc10/0x11b0
   kthread+0x376/0x500
  Local variable ntf.i created at:
   nci_ntf_packet+0xbc2/0x3c30

Zero-initialise both on-stack notifications so the unions read back as
zero when the corresponding parameters are absent.
