vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields
Admittedly this is something that the compiler should be able to just do for us, but gcc just isn't that smart. And trying to use a structure initializer (which would get us the right semantics) ends up resulting in gcc allocating stack space for _two_ 'struct stat', and then copying one into the other. So do it by hand - just have a per-architecture macro that initializes the padding fields. And if the architecture doesn't provide one, fall back to the old behavior of just doing the whole memset() first. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
