f2fs: fix KMSAN uninit-value in extent_info usage
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix KMSAN uninit-value in extent_info usage
KMSAN reported a use of uninitialized value in `__is_extent_mergeable()`
and `__is_back_mergeable()` via the read extent tree path.
The root cause is that `get_read_extent_info()` only initializes three
fields (`fofs`, `blk`, `len`) of `struct extent_info`, leaving the
remaining fields uninitialized. This leads to undefined behavior
when those fields are accessed later, especially during
extent merging.
Fix it by zero-initializing the `extent_info` struct before population.
