jfs: Fix uninit-value access of new_ea in ea_buffer
[ Upstream commit 2b59ffad47db1c46af25ccad157bb3b25147c35c ]
syzbot reports that lzo1x_1_do_compress is using uninit-value:
=====================================================
BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in lzo1x_1_do_compress+0x19f9/0x2510 lib/lzo/lzo1x_compress.c:178
...
Uninit was stored to memory at:
ea_put fs/jfs/xattr.c:639 [inline]
...
Local variable ea_buf created at:
__jfs_setxattr+0x5d/0x1ae0 fs/jfs/xattr.c:662
__jfs_xattr_set+0xe6/0x1f0 fs/jfs/xattr.c:934
=====================================================
The reason is ea_buf->new_ea is not initialized properly.
Fix this by using memset to empty its content at the beginning
in ea_get().
