Driver gets a request frame from the free pool of DMA able
request frames and fill in the required information and pass
the address of the frame to IOC/FW to pull the complete request
frame. In certain places the driver used the request frame allocated
from the free pool without completely clearing the previous data
stored in it. The request contents were cleared only for the
size of the new request to be issued and that left out some
stale data in the unused part of the request. Though the
IOC/FW is not expected to access the request beyond the specified
size it is good practice to clear complete request message frame.
So reinitialize the complete request message frame with 0's
before using it.
