[PATCH] RDMA/bnxt_re: Remove a redundant 'memset'

[PATCH] RDMA/bnxt_re: Remove a redundant 'memset'

[Christophe JAILLET]

'wqe' is already zeroed at the top of the 'while' loop, just a few lines
below, and is not used outside of the loop.
So there is no need to zero it here as well.

Applied to for-next, I reworked it a bit:
