hfs/hfsplus: zero-initialize buffer in hfs_bnode_read
hfs_bnode_read() can return early without writing to the output buffer
when is_bnode_offset_valid() fails or when check_and_correct_requested_
length() corrects the length to zero. Callers such as hfs_bnode_read_
u16() and hfs_bnode_read_u8() pass stack-allocated buffers and use the
result unconditionally, leading to KMSAN uninit-value reports.
Rather than initializing at each individual call site, zero the buffer
at the start of hfs_bnode_read() before any validation checks. This
ensures all callers in both hfs and hfsplus get a deterministic zero
value regardless of which early-return path is taken.
