wifi: mt76: mt7996: Initialize hdr before passing to skb_put_data()

Browse source 
commit 87b07a1fbc upstream.

A new warning in clang [1] points out a couple of places where a hdr
variable is not initialized then passed along to skb_put_data().

  drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mcu.c:1894:21: warning: variable 'hdr' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
   1894 |         skb_put_data(skb, &hdr, sizeof(hdr));
        |                            ^~~
  drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mcu.c:3386:21: warning: variable 'hdr' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
   3386 |         skb_put_data(skb, &hdr, sizeof(hdr));
        |                            ^~~

Zero initialize these headers as done in other places in the driver when
there is nothing stored in the header.
