[PATCH v3 08/12] treewide: Use initializer for struct vm_unmapped_area_info

Future changes will need to add a new member to struct vm_unmapped_area_info. This would cause trouble for any call site that doesn't initialize the struct. Currently every caller sets each member manually, so if new ones are added they will be uninitialized and the core code parsing the struct
