ath10k: zero arvif memory on add_interface()

Browse source

The private memory area in vif provided by
mac80211 isn't guaranteed to be zeroed.

This patch should fix issues when switching
between STA and AP interface types.

The tim_bitmap could become polluted by STA bssid
field (since it's a union), wep_keys array
could also become polluted with invalid pointers
and probably much more.
