xsk_getsockopt() is copying uninitialized stack memory to userspace when
`extra_stats` is `false`. Fix it.

Doing `= {};` is sufficient since currently `struct xdp_statistics` is
defined as follows:

struct xdp_statistics {
        __u64 rx_dropped;
        __u64 rx_invalid_descs;
        __u64 tx_invalid_descs;
        __u64 rx_ring_full;
        __u64 rx_fill_ring_empty_descs;
        __u64 tx_ring_empty_descs;
};

When being copied to the userspace, `stats` will not contain any
uninitialized "holes" between struct fields.

Changes in v2:
    - Remove the "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" tag. (Suggested by Song Liu
      [off-list ref])
    - Initialize `stats` by assignment instead of using memset().
      (Suggested by Song Liu [off-list ref])
