    tipc: fix an information leak in tipc_topsrv_kern_subscr

    Use a 8-byte write to initialize sub.usr_handle in
    tipc_topsrv_kern_subscr(), otherwise four bytes remain uninitialized
    when issuing setsockopt(..., SOL_TIPC, ...).
    This resulted in an infoleak reported by KMSAN when the packet was
    received:
