This patch memset modified_cmdline after it alloced.

Without this patch, the header of command line always contains random
value like following example:

kernel: 0x765fd008 kernel_size: 0x23b610
memory range: [0x60000000 - 0x6fffffff] (256M)
memory range: [0x78000000 - 0x9fffffff] (640M)
...
kernel command line: "°¥氥䐶# elfcorehdr=0x77f00000 mem=130048K"
