Log:
  ifconf(): Always zero the whole struct ifreq.
  
  The previous split of zeroing ifr_name and ifr_addr seperately is safe
  on current architectures, but would be unsafe if pointers were larger
  than 8 bytes. Combining the zeroing adds no real cost (a few
  instructions) and makes the security property easier to verify.
