OvmfPkg: LoadLinuxLib: Zero kernel parameters instead of passing garbage
We're supposed to zero everything in the kernel bootparams that we don't
explicitly initialise, other than the setup_header from 0x1f1 onwards
for a precisely defined length, which is copied from the bzImage.
We're *not* supposed to just pass the garbage that we happened to find
in the bzImage file surrounding the setup_header.
