From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx> commit eadd7deca0ad8a83edb2b894d8326c78e78635d6 upstream. KMSAN reports uses of uninitialized memory in zlib's longest_match() called on memory originating from zlib_alloc_workspace(). This issue is known by zlib maintainers and is claimed to be harmless, but to be on the safe side we'd better initialize the memory.
