[PATCH] pktgen: Dont leak kernel memory

While playing with pktgen, I realized IP ID was not filled and a random value
was taken, possibly leaking 2 bytes of kernel memory.
 
We can use an increasing ID, this can help diagnostics anyway.

Also clear packet payload, instead of leaking kernel memory.

Applied, thanks Eric.
