audit: use memset instead of trying to initialize field by field
We currently are setting fields to 0 to initialize the structure declared on the stack. This is a bad idea as if the structure has holes or unpacked space these will not be initialized. Just use memset. This is not a performance critical section of code. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
