compat: fix 4-byte infoleak via uninitialized struct field
Commit 3a4d44b6 ("ntp: Move adjtimex related compat syscalls to native counterparts") removed the memset() in compat_get_timex(). Since then, the compat adjtimex syscall can invoke do_adjtimex() with an uninitialized ->tai. If do_adjtimex() doesn't write to ->tai (e.g. because the arguments are invalid), compat_put_timex() then copies the uninitialized ->tai field to userspace. Fix it by adding the memset() back.
