Ah, now I've noticed that XFS (the only user of the callback you are
fixing) is zeroing the structure on its own (xfs_qm_scall_getqstat). So
there's no real problem. I'm somewhat wondering whether clearing the field
in the place where you did it isn't more future-proof but usually we don't
pass in prezeroed buffers so I've decided to leave things as they are.
