net: dcb: initialize PFC value before calling getpfccfg
dcbnl_getpfccfg() and dcbnl_cee_fill() pass the address of an uninitialized stack u8 to the driver's getpfccfg() op and then put it into the netlink reply unconditionally. The op returns void, so the core cannot tell whether the driver wrote the value. i40e_dcbnl_get_pfc_cfg() and ice_dcbnl_get_pfc_cfg() return without writing *setting unless the DCBX agent is host managed and in CEE mode. Both drivers normally run with firmware managed DCBX (DCB_CAP_DCBX_LLD_MANAGED), and i40e with FW LLDP disabled runs host managed in IEEE mode, so on a DCB capable i40e/ice port the PFC values in DCB_CMD_PFC_GCFG and DCB_CMD_CEE_GET replies, and in the CEE part of RTNLGRP_DCB notifications, come from uninitialized stack. The same u8 is reused for all eight priorities, so this is one byte per reply. dcb_doit() only requires CAP_NET_ADMIN for RTM_SETDCB, so the GET commands are available to unprivileged users. Set the value to 0 before each call, like the PG config path already presets its outputs to DCB_ATTR_VALUE_UNDEFINED. 0 is also what the reply contains today on kernels built with CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO, so nothing changes for those. Found by code inspection, compile-tested only (W=1). I don't have i40e/ice hardware to check the reply.
