The rx_buffer is cleared before sending an IPC to make sure that when the
/sys/kernel/debug/sof/ipc_msg_inject file is read we will have correct
information in the buffer (no random or stale data).

But if the user reads the file before sending any message the buffer might
contain garbage which should not be interpreted.

To prevent this, clear the rx_buffer on allocation.

[1/1] ASoC: SOF: ipc-msg-injector: Use devm_kzalloc() for the rx_buffer
      commit: 81acac8c2c88764c773811d1ec858852f81eb88a

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
