From: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
After kfifo rework it's no longer possible to reliably know if kfifo is
usable, since after kfifo_free(), kfifo_initialized() would still return
true. The correct behaviour is needed for at least FHCI USB driver.
This patch fixes the issue by resetting the kfifo to zero values (the
same approach is used in kfifo_alloc() if allocation failed).
