Subject: xdp: Helper function to clear kernel pointers in xdp_frame
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc1
Git-commit: a8d5b4ab353738e16e5f9d21ab1e3d44b37983d0
References: bsc#1109837

xdp_frame has kernel pointers which should not be readable from bpf
programs. When we want to reuse xdp_frame region but it may be read by
bpf programs later, we can use this helper to clear kernel pointers.
This is more efficient than calling memset() for the entire struct.
