    ALSA: line6: Zero-initialize message buffers
    
    [ Upstream commit c4e51e424e2c772ce1836912a8b0b87cd61bc9d5 ]
    
    For shutting up spurious KMSAN uninit-value warnings, just replace
    kmalloc() calls with kzalloc() for the buffers used for
    communications.  There should be no real issue with the original code,
    but it's still better to cover.
