    ipfilter: Plug ip_htable kernel information leak
    
    ipf_htable_stats_get() constructs an iphtstat_t on the stack and only
    initializes select fields before copying the entire structure to
    userland. The trailing padding array iphs_pad[16] is never initialized,
    so ~128 bytes of uninitialized kernel stack memory can be leaked to user
    space on each call. This is a classic information disclosure
    vulnerability that can reveal pointers and other sensitive data.
    
    We fix this by zeroing out the data structure prior to use.
