[PATCH net-next v2 1/1] ppp: Fix KMSAN warning by initializing 2-byte header

The ppp program adds a 2-byte pseudo-header for socket filters, which is
normally skipped by regular BPF programs generated by libpcap, causing no
issues.

However, for abnormal BPF programs that use these uninitialized 2 bytes,
a KMSAN warning is triggered.
