CVE-2022-49235

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ath9k_htc: fix uninit value bugs

Syzbot reported 2 KMSAN bugs in ath9k. All of them are caused by missing
field initialization.

In htc_connect_service() svc_meta_len and pad are not initialized. Based
on code it looks like in current skb there is no service data, so simply
initialize svc_meta_len to 0.

htc_issue_send() does not initialize htc_frame_hdr::control array. Based
on firmware code, it will initialize it by itself, so simply zero whole
array to make KMSAN happy

Fail logs:
