Subject: [PATCH net] net: switchdev: zero-initialize struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info emitted by drivers towards the bridge

The blamed commit a new field to struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info, but
did not make sure that all call paths set it to something valid. For
example, a switchdev driver may emit a SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE
notifier, and since the 'is_local' flag is not set, it contains junk
from the stack, so the bridge might interpret those notifications as
being for local FDB entries when that was not intended.

To avoid that now and in the future, zero-initialize all
switchdev_notifier_fdb_info structures created by drivers such that all
newly added fields to not need to touch drivers again.

Fixes: 2c4eca3ef716 ("net: bridge: switchdev: include local flag in FDB notifications")

This can be written simpler.
struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info send_info = {};

In all places.

There's a difference between:

struct foo bar = { 0 };

and

struct foo bar = { };

The former tells the compiler that you wish to set the first member of
struct foo, which will be an integer type, to zero. The latter is an
empty initialiser where all members and sub-members of the structure
default to a zero value.

You should have no problem with the latter. You will encounter problems
with the former if the first member of struct foo is not an integer
type.

Because the structure contains a sub-structure, I believe that a
compound literal initializer would require additional braces for the
initialization of its sub-objects too. At least I know that expressions

Ok, that's good to know. Seeing that this patch has not been applied yet
I'll go for a v2.
