Thank you for pointing it out. I didn't know that nor check the macros.
I'll care about similar problems next time.
I checked the macros and kind of understand what you mean,
but honestly I'm not sure whether or not it's perfectly correct to
remove memset.
If this is the right way, I think we can remove the following memset
which I modified as well.
The reason is the same as you mentioned. conn is zeroed by
LIBCFS_ALLOC before memset.
