net-timestamp: fix allocation error in test
A buffer is incorrectly zeroed to the length of the pointer. If cfg_payload_len < sizeof(void *) this can overwrites unrelated memory. The buffer contents are never read, so no need to zero. Fixes: 8fe2f761cae9 ("net-timestamp: expand documentation") Reported-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
