[PATCH] media: vicodec: zero-initialize stateful decoder heap buffers

From: Junrui Luo <[email protected]>

vicodec_start_streaming() allocates state->ref_frame.buf and the
compressed_frame buffer with kvmalloc() for the stateful decoder and
leaves both uninitialized.

decode_plane() derives is_intra from the reference pointer being NULL
(is_intra = !ref) rather than from frame-sequence state, and the
stateful decoder always passes a valid ref, so a P-coded first frame
reaches add_deltas() over stale heap content that is then folded into
the decoded frame and returned via VIDIOC_DQBUF. The padding rows
between visible_height and coded_height leak on every P-frame as well,
since copy_cap_to_ref() writes only visible_height rows while
decode_plane() reads up to round_up(visible_height, 8). For
compressed_frame, only comp_size bytes are copied into the new
comp_max_size allocation, leaving the tail uninitialized for derlc() to
walk into.

Use kvzalloc() for both allocations.
