Currently, when the rule related to IDLETIMER is added, idletimer_tg timer
structure is initialized by kmalloc on executing idletimer_tg_create
function. However, in this process timer->timer_type is not defined to
a specific value. Thus, timer->timer_type has garbage value and it occurs
kernel panic. So, this commit fixes the panic by initializing
timer->timer_type using kzalloc instead of kmalloc.
Test commands:
# iptables -A OUTPUT -j IDLETIMER --timeout 1 --label test
$ cat /sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/test
Killed
