Subject: net sched: fix some kernel memory leaks

From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>

commit 1c40be12f7d8ca1d387510d39787b12e512a7ce8 upstream.

We leak at least 32bits of kernel memory to user land in tc dump,
because we dont init all fields (capab ?) of the dumped structure.

Use C99 initializers so that holes and non explicit fields are zeroed.
