[PATCH v7 7/7] KVM: arm64: Zero out the stack initialized data in the FFA handler

Don't leak hypervisor stack data when using the FFA_VERSION call.
When the compiler doesn't support -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero option
we need to zero out the stack initialized variable before returning data
to the host caller.
