net: ethtool: Initialize buffer when querying device channel settings

Browse Source 
Ethtool channels respond struct was uninitialized when querying device
channel boundaries settings. As a result, unreported fields by the driver
hold garbage.  This may cause sending unsupported params to driver.

Fixes: 8bf3686204 ('ethtool: ensure channel counts are within bounds ...')
