[PATCH 1/1] x86/boot: clear some fields explicitly

[john.hubbard@gmail.com]

From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com>

Recent gcc compilers (gcc 9.1) generate warnings about an
out of bounds memset, if you trying memset across several fields
of a struct. This generated a couple of warnings on x86_64 builds.

Because struct boot_params is __packed__, normal variable
variable assignment will work just as well as a memset here.
Change three u32 fields to be cleared to zero that way, and
just memset the _pad4 field.

This clears up the build warnings for me.
