[PATCH] um: vector: Reduce stack usage in vector_eth_configure()

When compiling with clang (19.1.7), initializing *vp using a compound
literal may result in excessive stack usage. Fix it by initializing the
required fields of *vp individually.

Without this patch:

$ objdump -d arch/um/drivers/vector_kern.o | ./scripts/checkstack.pl x86_64 0
...
0x0000000000000540 vector_eth_configure [vector_kern.o]:1472
...

With this patch:

$ objdump -d arch/um/drivers/vector_kern.o | ./scripts/checkstack.pl x86_64 0
...
0x0000000000000540 vector_eth_configure [vector_kern.o]:208
...
