ipv6: Clear memory after malloc if necessary
The IPv6 code uses malloc in a couple of places to allocate the memory
for a struct. But it does not properly initializes all members of the
struct after the allocation, so the uninitialized members might contain
random data. So we should better clear the whole memory for those
structs to make sure we do not run into some hard-to-reproduce random
problems later.
