Re: [RESEND PATCH 2/3] net: hns: avoid gcc-7.0.1 warning for uninitialized data

hns_dsaf_set_mac_key() calls dsaf_set_field() on an uninitialized field,
which will then change only a few of its bits, causing a warning with
the latest gcc:

The code is actually correct since we always set all 16 bits of the
port_vlan field, but gcc correctly points out that the first
access does contain uninitialized data.

This initializes the field to zero first before setting the
individual bits.
