6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Oleksij Rempel o.rempel@pengutronix.de
commit 9e8d1013b0c38910cbc9e60de74dbe883878469d upstream.
Zero-initialize TCP header via memset() to avoid garbage values that may affect checksum or behavior during test transmission.
Also zero-fill allocated payload and padding regions using memset() after skb_put(), ensuring deterministic content for all outgoing test packets.
