rtc: dev: zero-initialize struct rtc_wkalrm to prevent information leak

Browse source

The struct rtc_wkalrm has padding holes after the 'pending' member.
When returned to userspace via the RTC_WKALRM_RD ioctl, uninitialized
kernel stack data residing in these holes may be leaked.

Zero-initialize the struct at declaration to eliminate this information
leak risk.

Fixes smatch warnings:
- drivers/rtc/dev.c:392 rtc_dev_ioctl() warn: check that 'alarm' doesn't
  leak information (struct has a hole after 'pending')

Fixes: 36e14f5fdf ("rtc: rename core files")
