[PATCH 47/64] btrfs: Use memset_after() to clear end of struct

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Jul 27 2021 - 17:01:55 EST


In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.

Use memset_after() so memset() doesn't get confused about writing
beyond the destination member that is intended to be the starting point
of zeroing through the end of the struct.
