Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nbd: always initialize struct msghdr completely
syzbot complains that msg->msg_get_inq value can be uninitialized [1]
struct msghdr got many new fields recently, we should always make
sure their values is zero by default.
