In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.

Use memset_startat() to avoid confusing memset() about writing beyond
the target struct member.

I can't find memset_startat() in mainline nor linux-next. I don't see it
in this thread either, but since this has 63 patches, I could have
easily missed it.

This change really should belong to a patch set that just introduces
memset_startat() (and perhaps memset_after()) and then updates all the
places that should use it. That way I can give it a proper review. In
other words, you should break this patch set up into smaller, more
digestible portions for the reviewers.

Thanks,

Sorry, it isn't called out in the Subject, but it's part of this patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210818060533.3569517-38-keescook@chromium.org/

I will split memset_after() and memset_startat() introduction patches. I
already split up each use into individual cases, so that those changes
could be checked one step at a time for differences in pahole struct
layout and object code.

Thanks for taking a look!
