Both bpf_get_task_stack and bpf_get_task_stack_sleepable helpers that
use __bpf_get_task_stack have buf defined as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM
argument and we should initialize the buf on every return path.
Adding missing buf memset for __bpf_get_task_stack fail paths. This
provides deterministic buffer contents, which is useful when the buffer
is used directly as a map key.
Fixes: 06ab134ce8ec ("bpf: Refcount task stack in bpf_get_task_stack")
Fixes: b992f01e6615 ("bpf: Guard against accessing NULL pt_regs in bpf_get_task_stack()")
