[PATCH ethtool v2] ethtool: Fix uninitialized variable use at qsfp dump

From: Eran Ben Elisha <hidden>
Date: 2018-10-02 14:06:42

Struct sff_diags can be used uninitialized at sff8636_show_dom, this
caused the tool to show unreported fields (supports_alarms) by the lower
level driver.

In addition, make sure the same struct is being initialized at
sff8472_parse_eeprom function, to avoid the same issue here.
