Re: [PATCH] virsocketaddr: Zero @netmask in virSocketAddrPrefixToNetmask()

The aim of virSocketAddrPrefixToNetmask() is to initialize passed
virSocketAddr structure based on prefix length and family.
However, it doesn't set all members in the struct which may lead
to reads of uninitialized values:

All callers expect the function to initialize the structure
fully.

Did you see actual errors caused by this, or just the valgrind
complaints? It's been like this since the function was first implemented
in 2010 (commit 1ab80f32. Yes, it was me. Sigh.) I wonder why nobody
ever saw this valgrind complaint before. Some check that was newly added?
(unless you've seen a real-world error, my guess would be that the
fields that aren't being initialized are actually ignored when the
family is set to INET or INET6, but even then it's still safer to clear
everything out.)
