Subject: [PATCH] net/e1000: fix out of bounds access

Fix wrong structure type used as argument in memset() call.

Coverity issue: 147223
Coverity issue: 147227

I'm not sure what's this "coverity issue" mean. Maybe we can remove it?

Hi Wenzhuo,
these are Coverity issue ID numbers - as this is an issue reported by The
Coverity Scan tool (a tool for static code analysis).
So the line " Coverity issue: 147223" means this patch will fix a defect
reported by The Coverity Scan tool under the number  147223.

Got it. Thanks for that :)

Best regards
Michal.
