    modules: bzero the modspecific_t
    
    Per https://reviews.llvm.org/D68115, only the first field is
    zero-initialized, meanwhile other fields are undef.
    
    The pattern can be observed on clang as well, that when
    -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern is specified 0xaa is filled for
    non-active fields, otherwise they are zero-initialized.
    Technically both are acceptable when using clang. However it
    would be good to simply bzero the modspecific_t in such case to
    be strict to the standard.
