Pavel Skripkin d1e0df1c57 ath9k_htc: fix uninit value bugs
Syzbot reported 2 KMSAN bugs in ath9k. All of them are caused by missing
field initialization.

In htc_connect_service() svc_meta_len and pad are not initialized. Based
on code it looks like in current skb there is no service data, so simply
initialize svc_meta_len to 0.

htc_issue_send() does not initialize htc_frame_hdr::control array. Based
on firmware code, it will initialize it by itself, so simply zero whole
array to make KMSAN happy

Fail logs:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
