[PATCH 2/2] fs: jffs2: zero initialize allocated inode

JFFS2 uses kmem_cache_alloc() to allocate an ubifs_inode. The memory
returned from kmem_cache_alloc() is not zeroed. jffs2_alloc_inode()
zeroes all fields in the ubifs_inode except the embedded struct inode.
In Linux this is done in the kmem_cache constructor function which calls
inode_init_once(). In barebox we have the constructor function as well,
but we don't have an equivalent of inode_init_once(), so the constructor
is empty. zero the inode in the constructor instead so that barebox
gets a zeroed inode.
