    inet_diag: fix kernel-infoleak for UDP sockets

    KMSAN reported a kernel-infoleak [1], that can exploited
    by unpriv users.

    After analysis it turned out UDP was not initializing
    r->idiag_expires. Other users of inet_sk_diag_fill()
    might make the same mistake in the future, so fix this
    in inet_sk_diag_fill().
