Syzbot reports KMSAN uninit-value use in hfs_free_fork [1].
Use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() to zero-init fd->search_key
in hfs_find_init() in order to mitigate such KMSAN bug.

Notes: since there's no maintainer for hfs I included Andrew as stated
in the Documentation. I also considered to include the top 2 commiters
to hfs subsytem given by scripts/get_maintainers.pl. Hope it's not a
problem, if so apologies.
