Reviewing use of memset in keyctrl_pkey.c

keyctl_pkey_params_get prologue code to set params up

	memset(params, 0, sizeof(*params));
	params->encoding = "raw";

keyctl_pkey_query has the same prologue
and calls keyctl_pkey_params_get.

So remove the prologue.

Fixes: 00d60fd3b932 ("KEYS: Provide keyctls to drive the new key type ops for asymmetric keys [ver #2]")
At best, this is a micro optimization.

How is this appropriate for a Fixes: line?
