[PATCH 1/4] x86/entry: Work around Clang __bdos() bug



After expanding bounds checking to use __builtin_dynamic_object_size(),
Clang produces a false positive when building with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y
and CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y when operating on an array with a dynamic
offset. Work around this by using a direct assignment of an empty
instance. Avoids this warning:

../include/linux/fortify-string.h:309:4: warning: call to 
__write_overflow_field declared with 'warn
ing' attribute: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use 
struct_group()? [-Wat
tribute-warning]
                        __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
                        ^

which was isolated to the memset() call in xen_load_idt().

Note that this looks very much like another bug that was worked around:
