    nfc: pn533: initialize struct pn533_out_arg properly

    struct pn533_out_arg used as a temporary context for out_urb is not
    initialized properly. Its uninitialized 'phy' field can be dereferenced in
    error cases inside pn533_out_complete() callback function. It causes the
    following failure:
