    ath9k_htc: fix uninit value bugs

    Syzbot reported 2 KMSAN bugs in ath9k. All of them are caused by missing
    field initialization.

    In htc_connect_service() svc_meta_len and pad are not initialized. Based
    on code it looks like in current skb there is no service data, so simply
    initialize svc_meta_len to 0.

    htc_issue_send() does not initialize htc_frame_hdr::control array. Based
    on firmware code, it will initialize it by itself, so simply zero whole
    array to make KMSAN happy

    Fail logs:
