[PATCH] hfsplus: fix uninit-value in hfsplus_strcasecmp

[Deepanshu Kartikey <kartikey406@gmail.com>]

Syzbot reported a KMSAN uninit-value issue in hfsplus_strcasecmp() during
filesystem mount operations. The root cause is that hfsplus_find_cat()
declares a local hfsplus_cat_entry variable without initialization before
passing it to hfs_brec_read().

If hfs_brec_read() doesn't completely fill the entire structure (e.g., when
the on-disk data is shorter than sizeof(hfsplus_cat_entry)), the padding
bytes in tmp.thread.nodeName remain uninitialized. These uninitialized
bytes are then copied by hfsplus_cat_build_key_uni() into the search key,
and subsequently accessed by hfsplus_strcasecmp() during catalog lookups,
triggering the KMSAN warning.

Fix this by zeroing the tmp variable before use to ensure all padding
bytes are initialized.
