[PATCH] batman-adv: Omit unnecessary memset of netdev private data

From: Tobias Klauser <hidden>
Date: 2017-03-17 11:08:59
Also in: batman
Subsystem: batman advanced, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Lindner, Simon Wunderlich, Antonio Quartulli, Sven Eckelmann, Linus Torvalds

The memory for netdev_priv is allocated using kzalloc in alloc_netdev
(or alloc_netdev_mq respectively) so there is no need to set it to 0
again.
