[PATCH] ASoC: SOF: ensure all fields in header are zero'd before copying back to userspace

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

Field header.tlv is uninitialized and being copied back to userspace
and hence leaking data from the stack to userspace.  Fix this by
ensuring the header structure is zero'd.

Fixes: c3078f539704 ("ASoC: SOF: Add Sound Open Firmware KControl support")
Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
