5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: HarshaVardhana S A <harshavardhana.sa@broadcom.com>
commit 223e2288f4b8c262a864e2c03964ffac91744cd5 upstream.
In vmci_transport_packet_init memset the vmci_transport_packet before
populating the fields to avoid any uninitialised data being left in the
structure.
