Zero-initialize memory for new map's value in function nsim_bpf_map_alloc
since it may cause a potential kernel information leak issue, as follows:
1. nsim_bpf_map_alloc calls nsim_map_alloc_elem to allocate elements for
a new map.
2. nsim_map_alloc_elem uses kmalloc to allocate map's value, but doesn't
zero it.
3. A user application can use IOCTL BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM to get specific
element's information in the map.
4. The kernel function map_lookup_elem will call bpf_map_copy_value to get
the information allocated at step-2, then use copy_to_user to copy to the
user buffer.
This can only leak information for an array map.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
