Subject[PATCH v2 3/3] kasan: initialise array in kasan_memcmp test
Date
memcmp may bail out before accessing all the memory if the buffers
contain differing bytes. kasan_memcmp calls memcmp with a stack array.
Stack variables are not necessarily initialised (in the absence of a
compiler plugin, at least). Sometimes this causes the memcpy to bail
early thus fail to trigger kasan.

Make sure the array initialised to zero in the code.

No other test is dependent on the contents of an array on the stack.
