Subject: [PATCH] vduse: prevent uninitialized memory accesses
Date:   Fri, 26 Aug 2022 18:16:05 +0200

If the VDUSE application provides a smaller config space
than the driver expects, the driver may use uninitialized
memory from the stack.

This patch prevents it by initializing the buffer passed by
the driver to store the config value.
