[PATCH net] virtio-net: zero unused hash fields

When GSO tunnel is negotiated virtio_net_hdr_tnl_from_skb() tries to
initialize the tunnel metadata but forget to zero unused rxhash
fields. This may leak information to another side. Fixing this by
zeroing the unused hash fields.

nit: there is a stray 'x' at the end of the line above

nit: The indentation seems off, probably a spaces vs tabs issue

I just spotted this has an unnecessary trailing 'x'. Will post V2.
