commit d30196c4cab8442451794d25a8d8a072dadca2eb

netlink: avoid memset of 0 bytes sparse warning
A netlink attribute padding of zero triggers this sparse warning:
include/linux/netlink.h:245:8: warning: memset with byte count of 0
Avoid the memset when the size parameter is constant and requires no padding.
